I mean  would like to get exe to run the demos. Since the build not has
build them (only .o files are outputted), I tried to find a way to
compile and execute them.

Ok but from my point of view this is not stated clearly in the doc. 
I read it carefully and try to manage with non addressed topics. 
The doc says : 
[[ Alternatively, with GNAT 5.03 and above it is possible to install AWS
[[into the GNAT Standard Library location. In this case AWS is
ready-to-use [[as there is no need to set ADA_PROJECT_PATH. 

 [[    $ make install-gnat INSTALL=/opt/gnatpro/5.03a/lib/gnat  
Target install-gnat is not known andwhen I read thies lines, I though
this was recommended since ready-to_use!!! 

At first glance, I though it will be quite easy to install AWS but when
you get into  the practice, I is not so easy. There are a lot of message
about it in the mailing list. 

I will keep you informed on it. I relaunch the process make setup, make
build and so on. 
Make setup output me some errors and I was "obliged" to switch from gnu
compiler to gnat one to cope with issues.
