Hi Alan, > That's a surprising result. What happens for the equivalent PLplot C core > library build?

Yes, gcc has actually no problems with the .obj extension. But gcc seems to call gnat1 to compile the ada file and though I found a description of gnat for Windows, where it is explained that the -o option should be used to set the output filename with the ending .obj or .o, it seems there is a bug, that prevents gnat1 from accepting .obj files. Since normally someone uses gnatmake this was no problem so far?
One workaround would be that we set the obj extension to .o for the whole project if ada is enabled in the windows case. This actually means that we have mingw, msys or cygwin and all three use gcc and .o object files should be no problem. I don't know any other ada compiler so that might be an option.
