gnatmake and gprbuild

gnatmake and gprbuild

[belteshazzar]

I'm attempting to build a large system using gnat project files, I
have multiple libraries to be built some that have Ada and C.

Unfortuantely I've found to compile the Ada and C i have to use
gprbuild BUT gprbuild fails (reports a gcc error) to build some of the
large libraries (where as gnatmake WILL build them)

Any ideas?

I think that the command line list of files sent to gcc by gprlib is
to long, but i can't work out how gnatmake doesn't get this same
error.

Any lessons learnt using these tools would be appreciated.

You are right, this is bug in the gprbuild from the GNAT GPL 2008.

QtAda 2.0 includes patch for fix several problems in gprbuild program.
You can rebuild gprbuild with this patch.
