[AWS] Compiling example programs with AWS on Mac OS X

[Maciej Sobczak]

Hi all,

I have just downloaded the 2.7.0 version of AWS, compiled with default 
configuration and installed (make setup build install).

I had some problems during compilation of my example program. I have 
used the compiler and linker options as described in the docs - that is:

gnatmake my_webserver
    -aI/usr/local/gnat/include/aws
    -aI/usr/local/gnat/include/aws/components
    -aO/usr/local/gnat/lib/aws/static
    -largs -L/usr/local/gnat/lib/aws/static -laws

First there was:

    file "ssl-thin.ads" not found

I have worked around it by creating symbolic links to 
ssl-thin__dummy.ads/ali in appropriate directories.

(please note that the default AWS config has SOCKETS=std option set up, 
not ssl - is this behavior correct?)

After adding these symbolic links the compilation went fine, but the 
linker failed with undefined references and the whole worked properly 
only when the list of libraries was: -laws -laws_include -laws_ssl.

Is it expected? Did I do something wrong during the compilation of AWS?

(in any case, getting down to do some coding... :-) )

Regards,
