Won't work - at least I can't make it work. If I build say AWS with Gnat-GPL, I can use the library if I use Gnat-GPL. However, If I change path, to use Gnat-FSF, It won't work, complaining on different Gnat versions. The solution is to change path first, and build AWS with Gnat-FSF. GPS will pick up gnat tools first in path. -- Björn
