Ada: windows installation

When downloading the tar file from开发者_运维知识库 AdaCore for the GNAT compiler (the libre version), I noticed that there are two exe files for installation purposes:

win32ada-gpl-2010.exe of size 2.67 MB

and

gnat-gpl-2010-i686-pc-mingw32-bin.exe of size 70.2 MB

In the folder containing the second one, there are instructions for the installation and it installs the GPS editor as well.

I have Win XP and chose to install the second exe file. Now I'm thinking that the second one is for a MINGW installation whereas the first exe file is for a native Windows installation. But I can't find information for this. Which of the two exe files is for a normal Windows installation?

Thanks a lot...

Win32Ada I believe is just a set of Win32 bindings for Ada. That's why it is so much smaller.

You might download that if you want to do a lot of Win32 systems programming or GUI work, and don't have a set of higher-level bindings (eg: GTKAda)
