3.9.4 Rebuilding the GNAT Run-Time Library

It may be useful to recompile the GNAT library in various debugging or experimentation contexts. A project file called libada.gpr is provided to that effect and can be found in the directory containing the GNAT library. The location of this directory depends on the way the GNAT environment has been installed and can be determined by means of the command:

$ gnatls -v

The last entry in the source search path usually contains the gnat library (the adainclude directory). This project file contains its own documentation and in particular the set of instructions needed to rebuild a new library and to use it.

Note that rebuilding the GNAT Run-Time is only recommended for temporary experiments or debugging, and is not supported.
