You assume that the GCC version > matches the version that you are building with. It’s a bit more complicated than that — the GCC build doesn’t allow suffixed gnat binaries to be referenced, which is why gcc-mingw-w64 installs its own unsuffixed links to gnat binaries; but then gnatmake assumes that unsuffixed gcc can build Ada. This is new though, I’ve build gcc-mingw-w64 with non-default gcc versions plenty of times in the past. But your fix is correct, thanks! > Also I find the name for the target_version macro a bit confusing, > because it means both, the version for the target, and the version for > the build (the build still succeeds building with 15). It’s the version of GCC that the build targets; that is indeed confusing, I’ll change it to gcc_version. Regards, Stephen
