Have you set up your project to indicate that it uses ClearCase ? Do you
have a "Version Control" menu in the contextual menus in editors ?

You might have to prepend the command with "cmd /c". We have fixed that
in the development version of GPS, but GPS 1.3.0 doesn't know how to run
a graphical windows application.

The pretty_printer section was added in one of the versions of GNAT. GPS
should be testing, I believe, that version to check whether it should
generate the package or not, but apparently it doesn't. Which version of
GNAT are you using ? We recommend GNAT 3.15p.
