I'm trying to write a motor control application running on an ARM Cortex-M0=
+. I've installed GNAT CE 2019 targeting arm-eabi and I can compile various=
 test programs using the -I switch to specify a system.ads file.

To create an executable, I believe I will need an installed run time, but I=
 find the way these are handled in GNAT to be confusing. I'd like to packag=
e all library sources in a project subfolder to make sharing everything eas=
ier, however, the deeply nested library structure that comes with GNAT is o=
verwhelming.

- I'd like to know how others prefer to package the library with applicatio=
n code

- are the GPR tools absolutely necessary for building a run time, or is the=
re another way to compile standard library packages?

Thank you,

Daniel Way
