  • Alire can't decide system when "get-ing" eagle_lander demo

    From Rob G@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 19 00:17:39 2022
    As a newby to Aliure, but not to Ada or GNAT-CE/GPS, I installed Alire on my WIndows10 laptop. As an additional result it installed MSYS2. I have no intention whatsoever to use MSYS, just want an Ada/Windows10 development environment.
    Skipping the "Hello, World" demo I started with Eagle_Lander, mainly because that is a Gtkada app.
    However, "alr get eagle_lander" resulted in a

    Note: Deploying gtkada=21.0.0...
    -=O=- # # # #
    Note: Running post_fetch actions for gtkada=21.0.0...
    configure: loading site script /usr/local/etc/config.site
    checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type
    <<
    Note that from the MSYS2 environment that was installed by Alire, if I do a ./doinstall for Gtkada the script fails because it can't find the a bin directory with Gtk.

    What to do to get Gtkada installed?
    PS It is unclear to me why Alire doesn't fetch the 22.0.0 version from Gtihub

    I don't have an answer, but it would help if you posted this as an issue
    in the Alire Github project: https://github.com/alire-project/alire

    There seems to be more Alire help available on the Gitter channel: https://gitter.im/ada-lang/Alire, although maybe that will change if
    more people post here; I much prefer email/news via Emacs Gnus to
    anything in a web browser.

    Thnx Stephe for the advice, just posted the same on github. Will have a look later on the Gitter channel.
