It is not the recommended way. Yes, there exists the gtkada-config 
program which generates switches for the compiler and linker. GtkAda 
comes with it. Use gtkada-config this way:

    gcc -c hello_gtk.adb `gtkada-config --cflags`

and gtkada-config --libs is for the linker.

Yet a better way is to use a project file:

with "gtkada.gpr"
project Hello_GTK is
    for Main use ("hello_gtk.adb");
end Hello_GTK;

Then simply run gprbuild -Phello_gtk.gpr. Or open the project in GPS.
