Now the compilation of my project is error free.
I have tried to build an executable of my project, but again an error:

gnatmake -d -PC:\\GNAT\\bin\\joystick.gpr joystick_main.adb
gnatbind -I- -x C:\GNAT\joystick_main.ali
gnatlink C:\GNAT\joystick_main.ali -o C:\GNAT\joystick_main.exe
c:/gnat/2009/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.3.4/ld.exe: cannot
find -lwin32ada
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gnatlink: error when calling C:\GNAT\2009\bin\gcc.exe
gnatmake: *** link failed.


Here the contents of the project file (joystick.gpr):

project Joystick is
   for Source_Dirs use (".", "..\2009\include\win32ada");
   for Object_Dir use "..\";
   for Main use ("joystick_main.adb");
   for Library_Dir use "..\2009\lib\win32ada";
end Joystick;
