I don't use GPS so I can't comment on it, but I've found that for a
start it is sometimes easier to do without IDEs and 'wizards'. Just
save this

with Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Hello is
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("Hello, world!");
end Hello;

to a file called 'hello.adb' and then type 'gnatmake hello.adb' on the
console.
