thank you :-)

a friend typed
"gnatmake -IC:\GtkAda-2.2.0\include\gtkada -fstack-check -gnatoVa -k 
-gnatUwaF -O2 -static ed_net `gtkada-config --static` -bargs -static"
he got
"gnatmake: unknown switch: --static`"

then he tried "gnatmake -IC:\GtkAda-2.2.0\include\gtkada -fstack-check 
-gnatoVa -k -gnatUwaF -O2 -static ed_net -bargs -static"
it compiles, but the exe doesn't run on a pc with nothing installed on 
it

he used
"gnatmake -IC:\GtkAda-2.2.0\include\gtkada -fstack-check -gnatoVa -k 
-gnatUwaF -O2 ed_net"
to make non-static executables


what should he type exactly, please ? :-)
