12.1.5 Library Project Files

When gnatmake is invoked with a main project file that is a library project file, it is not allowed to specify one or more mains on the command line.

When a library project file is specified, switches ^-b^/ACTION=BIND^ and ^-l^/ACTION=LINK^ have special meanings.

^-b^/ACTION=BIND^ is only allowed for stand-alone libraries. It indicates to gnatmake that gnatbind should be invoked for the library.
^-l^/ACTION=LINK^ may be used for all library projects. It indicates to gnatmake that the binder generated file should be compiled (in the case of a stand-alone library) and that the library should be built.
