using make with gnat? examples?

[bill]

Hello,

any one uses make or gmake for building gnat applications?
now, I build my gnat application using a shell script, where 
I simply call gnatmake, with a number of -I arguments, each
-I argument for a package that used by the main, as in:

gnatmake main.adb -I../pkgs/pkkg1 -I../pkgs/pkg2 -I../pkgs/pkg2 

what do you think of this method? is this enough for even very large
applications?

I am more used to using makefiles though. but with gnat using ali files,
and such, not sure how to construct the makefile dependencies myself, 
instead of letting gnatmake do its job?

thanks,
bill.

I build about 20+ large varying executables using shell scripts and
gnatmake.
Works well.

I use them all the time. For a couple of complete examples, see:
