Write to AdaCore so they can fix the situation. I mean their GNAT 2015 p= ackage renders their AdaCore University video useless. Best way to piss-off= new users. 2. For sure the setup found in GNAT 2013 is movable to a GNAT 2015 install.= Now you can lose a lot of time trying to make that work. 3. Except from not having the latest, being new to Ada, GNAT 2013 is way su= fficient for you to learn. I would just go with 2013. Once your are done wi= th the vids, reinstall 2015. BTW, in the long run if you are at ease with Linux I would go that way. If = you try to bind to external libs (like sdl) you wont have MinGW in your leg= s and makefiles just work. Things work in windows too, but most of the time= you end up on stackoverflow for some stupid peculiar details related to Mi= nGW.=20 Debian 8.0 with latest GNAT is a flawless setup.=20 Also keep the faith, Ada is awesome! It's what surrounds it that sucks. :)
