Assuming you're using AdaCore GNAT gps, check the flags so that
debug is on.  Start by opening up the "Edit Project" popup.  Then,
go through that systematically and turn on all the flags that have
to do with debug.  Make sure whereever you can turn on a debug info
switch, you have them active.  You may also need to recompile with
debug active.  Hope this is helpful.
