Tyler,

Is there any reason why you don't just
 ./configure
 make
 make install
?

I end up with (more or less) the following under $prefix:

- include/xmlada/<sources>
- lib/<various .so's>
- lib/gnat/<various .gpr's>
- lib/xmlada/relocatable/<shared binaries, .ali's>
- lib/xmlada/static/<debug binaries, .ali's>

and the GPRs are exactly where GNAT built for $prefix expects them.


I'm not sure of the exact rules for when the Ada source files in the
library require .adb's, but certainly they're needed for generics and
where the spec uses pragma Inline. I think you need to make sure the
corresponding .alis are read-only.

A good deal of the work is done by library gpr's, see
