GPRbuild requires a project file to be specified through the -P switch or to be looked for in the current directory.

GRPclean

GPRclean removes the files created by GPRbuild.

> gprclean
using project file greetings.gpr
<project_dir>\target\obj\greetings.*
<project_dir>\target\obj\gmain.*
<project_dir>\target\Greetings.exe
<project_dir>\target\obj\b__gmain.*

Command GPRbuild -c deletes only compiler-generated files (executables and libraries are untouched).

<project_dir>\target\obj\greetings.*
