This is not really an emacs question -- which is ok in general.
In this case it would be better if you followed the instructions of the link
you gave and run:
gcc -c hello.adb

after the prompt ($) as indicated. ie run it in a shell

Once you do that and it runs making it run in emacs is a small thing

If it doesn’t, solving that has nothing to do with emacs
