You can specify a .gpr file directly as the Emacs Ada mode project<br>
file, or you can specify a .gpr file as part of an Emacs Ada mode<br>
project file. <br>
<br>
I use the later, because it lets me also specify capitialization<br>
exceptions, and other source directories to search, such as for<br>
Makefiles. <br>

With the current Emacs Ada mode, you get this, when you run the<br>

That is possible.<br>
<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><tt>Basically, using .gpr files exactly as it

just call gnatmake -Psomething.gpr from the correct directory<br>
whenever it does a build. Unfortunately, I tried setting this switch<br>
in my *.adp file, and it tells me that it can't find the file. Guess<br>
I'm doing it wrong.<br>

There is a tutorial in the current Emacs Ada mode manual; please try<br>
it and see if it makes things clearer.<br>

Just an update:<br>
<br>
I've installed the latest version of ada-mode, and it works great.
I've been designating standard *.gpr files as my ada-mode project
files, and it works just as I'd hoped. Truly excellent!<br>
