README

        
Preliminary note for Windows users

==================================

The build instructions for `gprbuild` may have a slight UNIX flavor but they can

be used on Windows platforms with a full Cygwin installation. The latter makes

it simpler to build `gprbuild` but is not required to use it.

Bootstrapping

=============

`gprbuild` needs `gprbuild` to build... So we also provide a way to

easily bootstrap if you don't already have `gprbuild`, provided you

already have installed GNAT.

Download XML/Ada sources (from https://github.com/AdaCore/xmlada), together

with the gprconfig knowledge base (from

https://github.com/AdaCore/gprconfig_kb).

Run the `bootstrap.sh` script (written for POSIX systems) specifying the

install location and the sources of `XML/Ada` and `gprconfig_kb`. The script

will build *and* install `gprbuild`.

For example, to build `gprbuild` and install it to `./bootstrap` in the current

working directory, run:

    $ ./bootstrap.sh --with-xmlada=../xmlada --with-kb=../gprconfig_kb --prefix=./bootstrap

For maintainers, the environment `DESTDIR` is honoured for staged installs, see

`./bootstrap.sh -h` for more.

With this bootstrapped `gprbuild`, you can build XML/Ada and `gprbuild`

as documented below.

Configuring

===========

You should first configure the build like this (if you plan to build in

the source tree directly, you can omit setting the SOURCE_DIR variable):

    $ make prefix=xxx SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/gprbuild/sources setup

Building and Installing

=======================

XML/Ada must be installed before building.

Building the main executables is done simply with:

    $ make all

When compiling, you can choose whether you want to link statically with XML/Ada

(the default), or dynamically. To compile dynamically, you should run:

    $ make LIBRARY_TYPE=relocatable all

instead of the above.

Installation is done with:

    $ make install

Doc & Examples

==============

The documentation is provided in various formats in the `doc` subdirectory. You

can also find it

[online](http://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug.html).

It refers to concrete examples that are to be found in the `examples`

subdirectory. Each example can be built easily using the simple attached

Makefile:

    $ make all    # build the example

    $ make run    # run the executable(s)

    $ make clean  # cleanup

All the examples can be `built/run/cleaned` using the same targets and the top

level examples Makefile.
