Description

In issue #61 I get an issue about this environment file not existing.

I have checked out commit 758ea0b where the reference to gtkada-env.sh was added, and nothing creates it in the repo:

Is this reference outdated and should be removed? Where does this come from? The INSTALL document only mentions this:

On Unix systems, you'll need to run the <prefix>/bin/gtkada-env.sh script
to setup your environment for Gtkada.

Does this mean we should create a file that we can source to setup environment variables and similar? Where can we find a reference?

Research direction

Start with issue #61 and commit 758ea0b, then inspect the gtkada-env.sh reference and the INSTALL document's Unix setup instructions. Trace where the referenced environment file is expected to come from and decide whether the reference, generated file, or installation documentation is missing. Done means the setup path is unambiguous and the documented file exists or the outdated reference is removed.
