`make -k' is a shell command that shall be run by emacs and the output
`rendered' in a compilation buffer. What you require is to clear this in
the `minibuffer', using `C-a C-k', and enter something like:

gnatmake hello.adb

or whatever be the filename instead of hello.adb

You might probably be looking for "gnatmake " to be there in the
minibuffer instead of "make -k" everytime you compile ".adb" file.
(use `C-h v compile-command') or package `SmartCompile' or more...

Here the command might be like "gcc hello_dolly.cpp"
You might be interested in automating the compile process for
c-project(s), in which case, google is the best friend
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/ or
https://cmake.org/ or
http://www.boost.org/build/tutorial.html#basic_tasks

In either of these cases, just customize the variable `compile-command'
