And if = we manually delete it's extension '.exe' - error will be shown about anothe= r file in that directory. So, i've decided to go further. After making copy= of that files and deleting all extensions from the names i've got errors a= bout "not finding *.pdf, *doc" and other files in "doc directory". So i lef= t this initiative to fix this problem this way, and i don't know what i do = wrong.

I can't speak to cygwin, but I recently (finally) got it to build and insta= ll on mingw64 (msys2). I had to build xmlada as static only (part of the configure script), but I was able to make gprbuild that way. =20 I will say I saw a similar issue on mingw64 when trying to build the Gnoga library. I don't know for sure, but I think it ended up being something in their build environment because after a later update to one of their 3rd party libraries, the issue went away for me. I don't know if this is the same as what you are experiencing on cygwin though. For me it was just the .exe extensions (which I manually worked around by changing a gpr file to create the filenames in a way that worked).
