Installation Hints
- There is no common installation procedure for all the software: check the supplied README and INSTALL files
-
Set your PATH, ADA_OBJECTS_PATH and ADA_INCLUDE_PATH environment
variables (setting hints)
- PATH: e.g. the gnat\bin folder should be one of the first folders in this variable, specially if other folders in PATH also include make or gcc tools
- ADA_OBJECTS_PATH: path to the lib*.a library files and *.o object files
- ADA_INCLUDE_PATH: path to the *.ads and *.adb package files
- Some libraries need to be recompiled. However, it is not always possible to compile them from the AdaGIDE, so command line compilation may be mandatory
