I recently upgraded my macOS GNAT from 2015 to Simon's latest offering ("if it ain't broke...") on new Apple hardware. At the same time I used Apple's Migration Assistant to transfer files. From Visual Studio Code, I use a short shell script to run
gprbuild. This has worked flawlessly for quite a while. Now things are broken and I can't figure out what is wrong even after reviewing the gprbuild docs.

GPRBUILD 23.0.0 (20221109) (aarch64-apple-darwin21)

Here is the shell line invoking gprbuild
gprbuild -p /Users/me/Documents/Programs/Ada/Code/My_Projects/TextMate_Sampling/build.gpr

Here is the gpr file named build.gpr after deleting a bunch of comments (sorry for the length);

Here is the path to the main program. The path is in the sources list in build.gpr.

And here is the complaint from GNAT when I try to build:

I don't know much about macOS, so I don't know for sure, but maybe you need a

gprbuild: problems with main sources

I didn't get that, but I did get it if the two filenames were cased
differently (and Egil's 'package Naming' suggestion didn't fix
it). Different casing doesn't cause problems with an x86_64 gprbuild.

The reason is very probably to be found here in the GCC sources: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/gcc/ada/adaint.c#L599

__gnat_get_file_names_case_sensitive (void)
{
if (file_names_case_sensitive_cache == -1)
{
const char *sensitive = getenv ("GNAT_FILE_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE");

if (sensitive != NULL
&& (sensitive[0] == '0' || sensitive[0] == '1')
&& sensitive[1] == '\0')
file_names_case_sensitive_cache = sensitive[0] - '0';
else
{
/* By default, we suppose filesystems aren't case sensitive on
Windows and Darwin (but they are on arm-darwin). */
#if defined (WINNT) || defined (__DJGPP__) \
|| (defined (__APPLE__) && !(defined (__arm__) || defined (__arm64__)))
file_names_case_sensitive_cache = 0;
#else
file_names_case_sensitive_cache = 1;
#endif
}
}
return file_names_case_sensitive_cache;
}

which is Wrong; file names are case-insensitive on Darwin, x86_64 or
aarch64 (aka arm64).

On the other hand, it's gprbuild that's complaining.

Anyway, try "export GNAT_FILE_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE=0".

Or, of course, you could use lower-case filenames for all Ada source.

Both Simon's suggestion
export GNAT_FILE_NAME_CASE_SENSITIVE=0

and Egil's suggestion
package Naming is
for Casing use "MixedCase";
end Naming;

solve the problem.

Thanks. Not sure what the underlying problems are.
