Where is gprbuild

After installing a new Ada compiler from Releases · AdaCore/gnatstudio · GitHub I found that gprbuild was not included. What is the most simple way to install it again. I don’t know which version is compatible with GPS Studio 26.0 and it must be simple to install even if it comes from GitHub

GNAT GPL is unfortunately discontinued. You did not install the compiler, you did GNAT Studio AKA GPS.

There are three options:

  • Install the compiler via Alire: gnat_native, gprbuild. It takes less than an hour, I swear! :grinning:
  • You can install the compiler and gprbuild via MSYS2 with much less trouble.
  • You can continue to use an old GNAT GPL edition. If you just want GtkAda, it is fully sufficient.

If interested in Alire as your means to get GPRBuild and GNAT, @AJ-Ianozi developed a simple installer for it at:

Less than 5 minutes for me, so not to shabby.
