A newcomer question about -gnatA

Hi

Using GPS with GNAT 3.15p to build a program which uses a gnat.adc file,
I notice that the build is systematically made with the
switch -gnatA added for each file, like
this:

gcc -c -g -o e:\ada\gnat\rts3-oo\exec\transform_config_file.o
-gnatecgnat.adc -O3 -gnatf -g -gnatwpr -gnatyb -gnatA
e:\ada\gnat\rts3-oo\sources\transform_config_file.adb.

I didn't found how to get rid of this switch.

Nowhere I requested this switch, I just put in
Properties>General>Names & Location> External
configuration>Local pragmas: gnat.adc

And the GNAT User Guides says '"-gnatA means: If a gnat.adc file is
present, it will be ignored". ???

-PS.: To be exact, this applies to the "Current directory".
What is that? With adagide I had only a Sources directory (where
are my *ad? files), and an Exec directory, where I put the gnat.adc file,
the file read by the program and which was filled with the *.o and *.ali
files together with the resulting executable. All files created by the
program without specifying a path were also put in the Exec
directory.

Now with GPS there is a "Project directory", where of
course resides the *.gpr file. I discover that files read and written by
the program without specifying a path should also be or end in the
Project directory...

I must add that I tried to move the gnat.adc file in each of the 3
directories, always ending with a -gnatA switch added to the
compilations.

-Another puzzling question: while with the GPS Editor it is easy to
indent a block (with CTRL-Tab), how to unindent it? (which is easy with
adagide)?

Happy New (Ada05) Year :-)
