Small changes to allow the current master to compile on AdaCore GNAT/GCC 6.3.1 (2017-GPL-WIndows x86 32-bit).

Thanks for the patch. Fortunately I am used to GNAT GPL 2017 for the same reason (it's the latest 32-bit one).
I start with less on-topic things of your patch: the missing dirs are now created without supplemental option in gnatmake - see commit 78a7b67 .
For gnatcom.gpr, I prefer not to touch it.
For gnatocx-irunningobjecttable_interface.adb, I would keep the hr variable but use 'Unchecked_Access. Is it OK for you?

[zertovitch]

The rest of the issues should be fine now (see commit 7734884 ).

It's totally up to you on what you like to use or reorganize , thanks for taking my minor changes! I did find a few more issues today, I'll add them to this thread (since they are similar) in the next few days! I've now got everything to compile!

[nthcomputing]

okay, 3 basic additional issues were discovered in a couple areas:

1. ganvi-icg.adb:
   ` function GWindows_Casing (S : String) return String is
   --(if S = "id" then "ID" elsif S = "progid" then "ProgID" else GNAT.Case_Util.To_Mixed (S)); -- illegal due to procedure To_Mixed, not being a function!
   copy : string := S;

    begin
             if S = "id" then
    	GNAT.Case_Util.To_Upper(Copy);
      elsif S = "progid" then
    	Copy := "ProgID";
      else
    	GNAT.Case_Util.To_Mixed(Copy);
      end if;
      
      return Copy;
   end GWindows_Casing;`
   

2. gnavi/gnavi_ide/src/makefile
   gnavi_ide: gnavi_ide.coff control_creators.ads icg

The above just changes the order of files on requirements so that "gnat_ide.coff" needs to be first. If not then when you go to build the other targets, the resource file is missing because it wasn't built before hand as a requirement. SO now it's built first before all other targets. On windows I'm using Make 4.4.1, compiled from source.

3. Qwenerator/src/make.cmd: 66.
   if "%1"=="-res" windres GWenerator.rc GWenerator.coff if "%1"=="-res" shift if not exist GWenerator.coff windres GWenerator.rc GWenerator.coff

The whole ".rbj" things makes no sense to the linker, needs to something real, change it and now it links and works.

That should be it!

Point 1 is done in commit d346a18 .
Point 2 is done in commit 64b8cf3 .
Note that the GNAVI topic is a recent resurrection effort of something abandoned 20 years ago. Don't expect it to be usable in the near future...
Point 3: the 32-bit linker complains because it finds a 64 bit object file. Just recreate it with "make -res". The extension is not important.
