[gps-users] GNAT GPL gprbuild problems and crashes (SOLVED)

[Rob Groen]

Performance issue: Thanks to a MS Windows update a display driver was 
replaced. Updating to the manufacturer's latest version solved the slow 
compiling/linking process. Curiously enough, the wrong driver interfered 
with starting applications, each application activation taking 2s.

Gprbuild crashes: apparently the result of generating a unit test suite, 
a line was added to the original .gpr file. In the package Compiler this 
line was added:

          for Driver ("ada") use "";

commenting this line solved the problem. I don't know if this is a bug, 
either the adding of the line, or the crashing of the compiler (GPL 
versions 2015,2016 and 2017), or both.

Regards,

Rob

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought
