This "build the sources thing" is quite a headache in my
unit testing framework (Ahven, Ada 95 code), which tries
to be buildable with every Ada compiler.

For GNAT, I have quite complex Makefile which works only with
GNU Make on Linux (and *BSD) systems. In theory, it probably
works on Windows also if msys/cygwin is used.

For Janus/Ada on Windows, I use DOS batch files, since I could
not figure out anything better and using Janus/Ada build tools
directly require me to remember way too many arguments.

On the other hand, Irvine ICCAda provides such a nice build
tools, that I haven't had need to write Makefiles or DOS batch
files for it yet.

Full installation instructions are available at
http://www.ahven-framework.com/api-2.4/manual.html#building-and-installing-ahven
in case someone is interested.

Yours,
 Tero
