what is the standard ada include path

Question

Im using gnat4.6 on Ubuntu installed using apt-get. I need to know where to install downloaded libraries like APQ. What should I set my ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and ADA_OBJECTS_PATH to?

Answer 1

The beauty of Ada support in Debian (on which Ubuntu is based) is that you don't need to mess with ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and friends; supported libraries are installed where the GNAT Project Manager expects to find them. Say gnatls -v to see the default values.

To use the system as intended, you will find it much simpler to use the GNAT Project Manager; you'd say, in your my_project.gpr file,

with "apq";
project My_Project is
   ...

and build with

$ gnatmake -P my_project

There's online documentation for GPR, but I wouldn't call it particularly user-friendly. There's a set of Youtube videos (I haven't looked at them in any detail; their stated interest is large systems, but hang in there).
