This is redundant with first paragraph.

All this has been written by a french guy :)

It means:

1) Compile all libraries needed by AWS : Adasockets is mandatory, POSIX is
   optional.

2) Update ADA_INCLUDE_PATH/ADA_OBJECT_PATH (see GNAT doc) to point to the
   libraries's installation directory.

3) build AWS (make build_std)

You are right it is not clear, I'll try to fix that for the next release.


You certainly should post such question to the AWS mailing-list. See 
http://libre.act-europe.fr/aws.
