Hi Greg

I forgot to mention that you may need to adjust/tweak both the Winrt_runtime.gpr
and the winrt.gpr to fit in with your environment, specifically the variable
"Base_Installation_dir" in both winrt_runtime.gpr and winrt.gpr, as these files
where created manually outside of VisualAda.

I am looking at ways in which gnat/gcc directories/Paths can be dynamically
determined (at build time). In the next release of VisualAda, the dirs. are
dynamically determined when a new project is first created, a step in the right
direction ? But this doesn't help for projects pushed up to Git !
