Alire port to aarch64 (Linux)

This repository is a draft port of Alire to aarch64 Linux platform. This works in particular on Ubuntu 22.04 and Raspberry Pi 64-bits.

1. Download alr and add it to the PATH environment variable:

wget https://github.com/reznikmm/aarch64-alire-index/releases/download/v2.0.1/alr-2.0.1-bin-aarch64-linux.zip
unzip alr-2.0.1-bin-aarch64-linux.zip
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH

2. Clone and setup aarch64-alire-index:

alr index --reset-community
alr index --add git+https://github.com/reznikmm/aarch64-alire-index.git \
  --name aarch64 --before community

3. Install Aarch64 GNAT and gprbuild:

alr toolchain --select gnat_native=14.2.1 gprbuild=22.0.1

4. Done! Use alr as usual:

alr get --build hello

The Circle CI has an ARM machine executor in a free plan. To use it add a .circleci/config.yml YAML configuration, like this:

version: 2.1

jobs:
  say-hello:
    resource_class: arm.medium
    machine:
      image: cimg/base:current-22.04
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: "Build with alr"
          command: |
             curl -O -L https://github.com/reznikmm/aarch64-alire-index/releases/download/v2.0.1/alr-2.0.1-bin-aarch64-linux.zip
             unzip alr-2.0.1-bin-aarch64-linux.zip
             export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
             alr index --reset-community
             alr index --add https://github.com/reznikmm/aarch64-alire-index.git --name aarch64 --before community
             alr toolchain --select gnat_native=14.2.1 gprbuild=22.0.1
             alr build
