    Hi,

    Does anyone have a good advice on how to set up the
    GNAT compiler system on a multiboot Windows computer?

    <context>
    I have a multiboot computer (Win XP, Linux Debian, Win 2003).
    Each of these OSes reside on its own physical harddisk. The boot
    is guided by a lilo which assigns the appropriate harddisk
    as the boot disk for each OS.
    GNAT was installed when the computer was booted as XP. The
    installation was done using the gnat-3.15p-nt.exe installation
    program and works fine. The files were copied to C:\GNAT\...
    </context>

    Now I want to use GNAT when the computer is booted as Win 2003.
    The boot disk is E: with environment variable SystemDrive=E:.

    I have set following variables in Win 2003:
    ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentium-mingw32msv\2.8.1\adainclude
    ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentium-mingw32msv\2.8.1\adalib
    Path=C:\GNAT\bin;C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentium-mingw32msv\2.8.1;
    E:\WINDOWS\system32;E:\WINDOWS;E:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;
    E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\bin;
    E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
    E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;

    , but I get still an error message (F: is a data partition on the
    same physical hard disk as where E: resides):

    F:\anders>gnatmake test
    gnatbind -x test.ali
    gnatlink test.ali
    ld: cannot open crt2.o: No such file or directory
    gnatlink: cannot call C:\GNAT\bin\gcc.exe
    gnatmake: *** link failed.

    crt2.o is found in
    C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentium-mingw32msv\2.8.1 and
    gcc.exe is found in C:\GNAT\bin\,
    both is in the PATH variable.

    Any hints how to proceed?
    Maybe Win 2003 access rights on the XP hard disk directories C:\GNAT\
    play a role?

    TIA
    Anders
