Ok, but yet it is not that trivial to install and setup a Cygwin environment
for non programers... It is better to just rely on makefile, this is possible
with GNAT since most of the jobs are:
- build the program
build:
gnatmake ...
- install the software
ifeq (${OS}, Windows_NT)
CP = copy
else
CP = cp
endif
install:
$(CP) ... ...
- build a tarball for distribution
distrib:
tar ...
This works well in many cases. In AWS, for example, we use only makefiles. It
is not perfect but it works.
>From experiences (and I have a lot here), using configure/autoconf/automake
is always troublesome on Windows.
