I don't see what the error is here...
Hi Folks. Ran into Alire today, very awesome and seems to work well. I'm on a windows 10 box with GNAT community 2021. I got sdlada_2.5 via alire, and the initial build seemed to go ok. I am trying to build some of the tests, so I went into the build\gnat area of the sdlada folder, and ran './gprbuild tests.gpr'. Compile seemed fine but then got a ton of link errors for pretty much every SDL entrypoint, for instance : sdl-video-surfaces-makers.adb:45: undefined reference to `SDL_CreateRGBSurface'. I am not super familiar with gprbuild and gpr files in general, having always just used gnatmake and a manual build script. I figure I need to put a linker path directive somewhere, but not sure where. The alire build seemed to create a libsdlada.a underneath sdlada\build\gnat\gen\debug\lib, so I'm assuming that's the one I would use.
So, I found the test executables (windows .exe's) under sdlada\build\gnat\gen\debug\test. Apparently it was building them, so no need to do manually. However, when run, they complain that they can't find SDL2.dll. The library produced was sdlada_2.5.4_7981bbd6\build\gnat\gen\debug\lib\libsdlada.a, so I'm not sure why the exe's want a DLL. Anyway gonna go RTFM for a while.
never mind, I need to install SDL itself. duh.
maybe for alire docs?
@pyjarrett @Fabien-Chouteau I came across a problem on M1 Macs, see alire-project/alire#1012. Septum builds fine, as of course does trendy_terminal, but you can't
alr build in trendy_terminal/tests.

@danwinslow According to alire-project/alire#354 every alire crate that builds DLL should add a path to DLL to
PATH. I guess none of the crates (including crates) does this actually. So don't expect executables on windows work until you set correct PATH manually.

did something change in handling alire-index forks?
I wanted to publish a new verison for my eeprom_i2c library.
I forked the alire-index repository (as usual) into my own user, and wanted to upload the alire.toml file.
But I get (in my very own fork in my user space) the error message:
Uploads are disabled. File uploads require push access to this repository.
This is the repo link: https://github.com/hgrodriguez/alire-index/upload/stable-1.1/index/ee/eeprom_i2c
What changed?

For a starter I'd use the output of
alr --help and pick only lines whose first word does not start with a capital letter
alr --help | sed -ne '/GLOBAL/,$ p' | awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^[A-Z]/) print $1;}'
There is one already at https://github.com/alire-project/alire/blob/master/scripts/alr-completion.bash
I received my first bug report for ASFML but was not able to help. I cannot reproduce the problem using the latest versions of Alire and available toolchain.See mgrojo/ASFML#10 Could this be related to the problem which required a maintenance release for Windows (Alire v1.1.3)? I think the key problem is this error:
c:/gnat/2021/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/10.3.1/ld.exe: C:\Users\Amynu\testproj\alire\cache\dependencies\asfml_2.5.2_b775db19\lib\libasfml.a: error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one Later ones might be related to the workaround of changing to dynamic linking.
This should work
(in alire.toml)
Can anyone tell me why I’m getting a syntax error at line 22? https://github.com/simonjwright/gnat_math_extensions/blob/alire-workflows/.github/workflows/build.yml#L22
