Tips for Development

The most advanced IDE for Ada is GNAT Studio which can be invoked using the command gps.

You first need to configure ghdl for the mcode backend. And during the configuration, the project file ghdl.gpr is created. You can then invoke the editor using gps ghdl.gpr.

Why is mcode the only backend supported ? That's because it's the easiest to build, because it is self-contained and because the ghdl.gpr project file is built for it.

To build, just press F4 or click on build all.

In order to run it, you should also build the libraries. It is therefore recommended to first do a make all.
