Hello,

Though GPS mailing list hasn't been used since March 2017, I propose to 
start a thread about sharing experiences in building GNAT Studio:
https://lists.adacore.com/pipermail/gps-devel/2021-August/000237.html

I've sent a first post with some basic questions about used component 
versions which are unfortunately not present in INSTALL documentation.

Could please share your experience and component versions on the GPS list?
However, It would be nice to get little support from AdaCore staff.

Thanks, Pascal.
