I've build GVD successfuly on Win98, using cygwin and bash as the shell running
configure, and as sh (i.e.
bash was copied over sh.exe).  You need to modify the prefix line in the
gtkada-config script to point
the the actual place your GtkAda is located.

I also advised to change the install file in the kit to the attached file.

Have fun

Thanks Arno.  Your suggestion, together with an e-mail I found in the archive, specifying
that BUILTIN_PS=winnt should be replaced in the Makefile (gvd subdirectory) with 
BUILTIN=stub, did the trick.

In order to save time and questions, I would suggest a new Install file:
!----------------------------------------------------------------------
Building GVD 
============

Prerequisites:
- GNAT 3.13 or higher
- GtkAda 1.2.10

To build GVD, you first need to install GNAT and GtkAda, then
do the following:
1.     make sure that the path to include the bin directory where GtkAda is installed.  
       for example (Windows 9x/NT/2000):
       set path=%path%,c:\GtkAda-1.3.11\bin

2.     If you are using GtkAda Windows9x/NT/2000 distribution 
       (i.e. GtkAda-1.3.11.exe or later), make sure you have an gtkada-config file in 
       the GtkAda bin directory.  This file is missing from the distribution/instalation!
       If missing, you can use the sample file provided below.  Edit the file and fix  
       the prefix variable to point to the actual GtkAda root location (the default
       that GtkAda instalation is using is is c:\GtkAda-1.3.11).
       
3.  $ ./configure --prefix=<prefix>

       <prefix> should be the GtkAda prefix, i.e. c:\GtkAda-1.3.11

4.     If building for Windows 9x/Me, edit the Makefile that configure generated in the 
       gvd directory.  Locate the statement:

       BUILTIN_PS=winnt

       and replace it with:

       BUILTIN=stub

       failure to do this will result in a link error when linking Gvd (the error is
       ld: cannot open -lpsali: No such file or directory
       )

5.  $ make
6.  $ make install

It is possible to specify the name of the gnat compiler when it is
different from gcc (e.g. gnatgcc). The following options are provided:
   - Specify the name of the compiler at configure time
      $ CC=<your-gnat-compiler> ./configure <...>
      $ make
   - Specify the name of the compiler when invoking make
      $ ./configure <...>
      $ make CC=<your-gnat-compiler>


here is a simple gtkada-config:

#
# NOTE: update the prefix in the following line to point to the actual GtkAda root!!!!
prefix=c:/GtkAda-1.3.11

while test $# -gt 0; do
  case $1 in
    --version)
      echo 1.2.12
      ;;
    --cflags)
      echo -I$prefix/lib
      ;;
    --libs)
      echo -L$prefix/lib
      ;;
  esac
  shift
done
