Where is this installer? The binary release of GtkAda with an installer is in the GNAT CE: https://www.adacore.com/download/more You cannot install GtkAda from the sources under Windows, because GTK cannot be without some serious hair-pulling bootstrapping process as it has circular dependencies in it, and to be honest, it is a total mess. However if you could skip the the fun part. Install MinGW and get pre-built GTK packages from there. Then you could try to compile GtkAda by usual config-make way under MinGW. You can use either MinGW GNAT or GNAT CE for that. This should give you GtkAda compiled for Windows. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
