Go into Project > Edit Project Properties, select the Language tab. In
the lower half (Tools) > Compiler, click on 'gnatmake'. I see a little

Might be as well to do the others as well (I see no avr-gdb, better
GIRFT. Or build/test the main app logic on the host).

GPS is a host application, which supports multiple targets. The way
we've worked in a GNAT Pro environment is that gnatmake and
powerpc-wrs-vxworks-gnatmake (in your case, avr-gnatmake) and friends
all live in the same folder. Indeed, the way to install the
cross-environment is to install the host compiler first and then the
cross; on Windows it defaults to the same install head. That's part of
the reason for having <target>-gnatmake.

Our GPRs are set up to use environment variables to choose whether to
build for the host or the target. I don't know whether you can do this
from the project properties editor in GPS, but you can certainly do it
in Emacs! (nor Notepad, come to that).
