Description

Dear Developers,

When I use aunit.gpr I get two warnings:

aunit.gpr:18:24: warning: library directory "C:\path\to\aunit\lib\aunit\native-full" does not exist
aunit.gpr:22:23: warning: object directory "../aunit-obj/native-full" not found

This question is about the first warning: why is a directory included that doesn't exists?
In other words, this statement has no effects since no additional code will ever be included.

Greetings,
Pierre

Research direction

Inspect aunit.gpr at lines 18 and 22 to understand how the library and object directories are configured. Reproduce the warnings with the reported project setup, then determine whether the missing library directory is intentional and what configuration change would make the warnings disappear.
