[GAP] GPL and AdaGIDE for Vista

[Riehle, Richard (CIV)]

I was having some trouble with this as well.

I was finally successful with installing GNAT in 

       C:\GNAT

instead of C:\GNAT\2007.

Also, I rebooted the system immediately after installing
GNAT instead of after installing the Win32 stuff.  Then,
after rebooting, I installed the Win32 stuff.  After that,
I installed AdaGide.   I can now compile and build programs
with AdaGide.

It seems the registry is fussy about making sure you have
rebooted first with GNAT by itself.    If you don't reboot,
and have GNAT installed in C:\GNAT, the AdaGide installation
gives error messages.

I'm not sure this will fix things for everyone, but it finally
did the trick for me -- on at least one system.

This seems to  be as much an Operating System problem as it
is an AdaGide or GNAT problem.

My student finally stopped in with his laptop.  I was not successful 
in getting gnatmake to work.  We 
added  C:\GNAT\2007\libexec\gcc\pentium-mingw32msv\4.1.3 to the 
path.  There was no 3.* directory.  I didn't think of trying the 3* 
directory anyway.

The error we get when we try gnatmake is

gcc.exe: _spawnvp: Invalid argument

Any other ideas of what we could try?
