I suspect those recompilations are because you are using incorrect or incomplete options for gnatmake. What happens if you specify the cmake options "-DENABLE_ada=ON -DBUILD_TEST=ON" so that the subsequent "make" command builds the Plplot Ada examples? As far as I can remember I set up that cmake build of the Ada examples so libplplotadad is specifically used and no recompilations of the binding are required. If you confirm that cmake sets up gnatmake correctly for the examples (i.e., specifies the correct options for gnatmake on your platform so no recompilations of the bindings occur), then you should use those identical options for any other Ada application you have that uses libplplotadad. N.B. Use the VERBOSE=1 option for make (or else use the cmake option, -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON) so you will see the flags used for gnatmake (and the lack of extra compilations) when gnatmake builds the examples.
