[AWS] Trouble compiling AWS on WinXP

[Colwell, Samuel C @ VTC]

Pascal,

I've been fiddling with this a bit more to try to narrow down where the issue is. I made a hello world program in C:\temp named hello.adb.  It compiles fine with gnatmake from a normal windows cmd prompt:

--------------------
C:\temp>gnatmake hello.adb
gcc -c hello.adb
gnatbind -x hello.ali
gnatlink hello.ali


C:\temp>hello
Hi There!
------------------

When I run the same command from /cygdrive/c/temp I get the same error I'm experiencing when I try to make AWS:

-----------------
$ gnatmake hello.adb
gcc -c hello.adb

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
gnatmake: "hello.adb" compilation error
-----------------

The commands you asked me to run appear to say that the gnatmake I'm running in both environments should be the same executable, yet it works from a windows CMD shell, but not from the Cygwin bash shell.


The outputs for the commands you listed are:
--------------------
$ gnatls -v

Hum, this is quite a big problem. It seems that your compiler is not
working properly. What is the ouptut for:

   $ gnatls -v
   $ which gcc
   $ which gnatmake

Fine, I'm using this version of make too.

I would just install AWS:

   $ make prefix=/path/to/install
   $ make setup build install

And tar/zip the install directory (/path/to/install). This should work fine.
