I have been able to compile trivial examples using a project file, so
I have now attempted to compile the examples from the texttools.  I
started with basic.adb

with "texttools";
project Debug is
  for Source_Files use ("basic.adb");
  for Source_Dirs use ("./**"); 
  for Object_Dir use "debug";
  for Main use ("basic");  

  package Builder is
    for Default_Switches ("Ada")
        use ("-g");
    for Executable ("basic") use "test";
  end Builder;

  package Compiler is
    for Default_Switches ("Ada")
       use ("-fstack-check",
            "-gnatVa",
            "-g",
            "-gnato",
            "-gnatf",
            "-gnatwu",
            "-gnat2012");
  end Compiler;
   
  package Linker is
    for Default_Switches ("Ada")
        use ("-C",
             "-lm",
             "-lncurses"
            );
  end Linker;
end Debug;

and I did
  gnatmake -Pdebug

I am now getting this error:  "gnatlink: failed to open binder output"

What should I try now?

Thanks guys for all your help
