Try

library project GSL_Raw is
   for Source_Dirs use ("src");
   for Library_Dir use "lib"; -- keeps .ali, libgsl_raw.a out of the way
   for Object_Dir use "obj";  -- for .ali, .o intermediate products
   for Library_Name use "gsl_raw";
   for Library_Kind use "static";
   for Externally_Built use "false"; -- you need to build it
end GSL_Raw;

and build with "gprbuild -p -P gsl_raw" - "-p" creates necessary
directories. Result is .ali, libgsl_raw.a in lib/. Don't use
"externally_built" at this early stage.

again, I'd use "lib"
