Thomas,
check your environment configuration and source code is correct.
    1. ADA_SOURCE_PATH,ADA_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables should include 
%GNATCOM HOME% \ framework
    2. PATH variable should be include %GNATCOM HOME% \tools



"compilation unit expected"
"illegal character"

check your souce to sure there is no invisible illegal character in your 
source code and do not forget delete all *.o and *.ali in building path.
in some case,clean build will solve some unknown problem.
