An executable project could be kind of this:

with "win32ada.gpr";
project My_Project is
   type Development_Type is ("Debug", "Release");
   Development : Development_Type := external ("Development", "Debug");
   for Source_Dirs use (".");
   for Main use ("my_main.adb");
   
   case Development is
      when "Release" =>
         for Object_Dir use "Release";
      when "Debug" =>
         for Object_Dir use "Debug";
   end case;

   package Builder is
      case Development is
         when "Release" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-s");
         when "Debug" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-g");
      end case;
   end Builder;

   package Binder is
      case Development is
         when "Release" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use ();
         when "Debug" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-E");
      end case;
   end Binder;

   package Compiler is
      case Development is
         when "Release" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use
               ("-gnato", "-gnatf", "-O2", "-gnatn", "-gnat05");
         when "Debug" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use
               ("-gnato", "-gnatf", "-g", "-fstack-check", "-gnat05");
      end case;
   end Compiler;

   package Linker is
      case Development is
         when "Release" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use
               ("-O2", "-s",  "my_resource.o", "-mwindows");
         when "Debug" =>
            for Default_Switches ("ada") use
               ("-g", "-lgmem", "my_resource.o", "-mwindows");
      end case;
   end Linker;

end My_Project;

my_resource.o is the resource object file, which you have to compile it
like:

windres -i my_resource.rc -o my_resource.o

No, it must be installed after the compiler was.
