I want to learn to program in Ada, yesterday I downloads GPS from Adacore website, extract the archive and run the "doinstall" file(I'm running OpenSuse 13.1). everything installed OK,I want to mention that I haven't edit the PATH variable, then I started Ada and create new project falling this guide http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/Building-a-New-Program-with-GPS.html. Everything was good, I have written my Hello_World program, but when I tried to compile it I got those errors:

 Could not determine the project for file: /home/synchro/Ada_projects/hello.adb
 Could not expand argument in command line: %fp
 Build command not launched.

I was unable to find any information about how to fix this. Any help is welcome.

EDIT: I have add the file to the project Now I'm getting those errors:

 No file selected
 Could not expand argument in command line: %fp
 Build command not launched.

Yeah it's mistake sorry about that. Also I forget to say, that I didn't edit the PATH variable, I'm not sure should I do it and how. – user3864541

You definitely need to set your PATH so that doinstall’s suggestion comes first.

The file you have to edit to do this varies between Unix systems; Googling “how to set path in opensuse” suggests that the file you need to edit is ~/.profile (that is, the file .profile - note the leading period - in your home directory).

Assuming doinstall said /usr/local/gnat/bin, you can probably get the effect you need by going to the end of the file and inserting the line

export PATH=/usr/local/gnat/bin:$PATH

(it may not be quite so simple if ~/.profile contains conditional code down there) and then log out/log in.
