I downloaded the GNAT Community 2019 and have installed on my Mac in my home folder "/Users/leon/opt/GNAT"
I run the command "gps" in the directory "/Users/leon/opt/GNAT/2019/bin". And GPS showed up, then I created a project, typed the "Hello World" code. Just as the Wikibook shows.
with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Hello is
begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("Hello, world!");
end Hello;
When I clicked the build button, the program just failed to build.
The following is the building output.
gprbuild -d -P/Users/leon/Documents/ada/helloworld.gpr /Users/leon/Documents/ada/src/hello.adb

Please help. I can't figure out what is wrong with the configuration or something. Thank you in advance.
guys. I found the solution myself.
On the program's download's page, above the program's link, there is a README file.
I ignored it at first. Just then I revisited the official site and read the README file and got the solution as following :
== Mac OS: Xcode is now needed ==
On Mac OS, GNAT Community 2019 requires Xcode version 10 or above to be
installed. Once you do have Xcode installed, if you still observe an error
of the form:
ld: library not found for -lSystem
then you might have to execute the following:
xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
I think this has really given me a great lesson. READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FIRST.
Thank you guys.
