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.
