ada-mode: Use GNAT project file
6.4 Use GNAT project file
=========================
In this example, we show how to use a GNAT project file, with no Ada
mode project file.
Create the directory ‘Example_4’, containing:
‘hello_pkg.ads’:
package Hello_Pkg is
procedure Say_Hello;
end Hello_Pkg;
‘hello_pkg.adb’:
with Ada.Text_IO;
package Hello_Pkg is
procedure Say_Hello
is begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
end Say_Hello;
end Hello_Pkg;
These are the same files from example 1; ‘hello_pkg.adb’ has an error
on line 2.
In addition, create a directory ‘Example_4/Gnat_Project’, containing
these files:
‘Gnat_Project/hello_4.adb’:
with Hello_Pkg;
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Hello_4
is begin
Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
Put_Line ("From hello_4");
end Hello_4;
There are no errors in this file.
‘Gnat_Project/hello_4.gpr’:
Project Hello_4 is
for Source_Dirs use (".", "..");
end Hello_4;
In buffer ‘hello_4.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load...’, and select
‘Example_4/Gnat_Project/hello_4.gpr’.
Then, again in ‘hello_4.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’. You
should get a ‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the
directory paths will be different):
cd c:/Examples/Example_4/Gnat_Project/
gnatmake -o hello_4 hello_4 -Phello_4.gpr -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ -bargs -largs
gcc -c -g -gnatyt -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_4\Gnat_Project\hello_4.adb
gcc -c -g -gnatyt -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_4\hello_pkg.adb
hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
gnatmake: "c:\examples\example_4\hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
Compare the ‘gcc’ options to the compiler output in Set
compiler options; this shows that ‘hello_4.gpr’ is being used to set
the compiler options.
Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in No
project files.
