Hello,

I am brushing off the cob webs as it has been many moons since I was 
writing ADA software....it was with text based screens! :) So I have some 
really simple questions if someone can help :)

I have installed GPS from Adacore onto a russian language windows 7,
(trouble with windows XP install as well). I am not 100% sure I have done 
the installation correctly. I have also been trying on Ubuntu 14.04 and 
12.4 machines with not a lot of joy.

No problem with text output to the screen. all is working fine.

On the windows 7 machine, using the template sample game inside GPS, I 
compile and run the program. I then get "SDL_tff.dll" not found. program 
stops.

Should I just download from one of the many places on the Internet. Does 
it matter if 32 bit or 64 bit? In which directory should it go?

I actually prefer to work on the Ubuntu box, but someone I know wants to 
program games and it seems like the Adacore setup might work better.
I just want to get to the point where I can open a simple window in 
graphics mode. the games support on Adacore would be nice, but not 
essential. I might ask in a separate post about gtkada....
