- Since MSys2 dropped support for Ada (!), how can I build Ada projects such as sdlada and gprbuild-bootstrap that require command-line tools (e.g. makefiles or bootstrap.sh) on Windows?

Ada on Windows in 2022 (Offering Help)
Building GPRBuild is not technically necessary, since this is still GCC 12, however I would recommend it, since GNAT does not promise ABI stability. https://github.com/AdaCore/gprbuild provides the rough instructions in a UNIX-friendly format. In short:

June 2023 What Are You Working On?
GCC 13.1.0 for aarch64-apple-darwin21, both native and cross-compiling to arm-eabi. Had to make a second release of both, because libgmp.dylib had a very unhelpful runpath setting.
- GCC 13.1.0 releases for Apple silicon
- MacOS GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)
- Release GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)

May 2023 What Are You Working On?
Libadalang2xml now in Alire. NB, if you’re on macOS, you’ll need one of the packages I’ve been building; alr/macOS can’t build langkit, libadalang.

macOS GCC 13.1.0 (x86_64)
Yes: see here.

What are does the hobbyist programmer miss comparing the paid versus free Ada ecosystem?
This is why, when considering whether to build & release a nn.2.0 macOS version, I’ll only do so if there’s a good reason: for example, GCC 12.1.0 couldn’t compile C source on macOS Ventura (version 13).

December 2022 What Are You Working On?
Over at Github, I’ve released GCC 12.2.0 for macOS: x86_64 for Intel Macs, aarch64 for Apple silicon. I have an arm-eabi build too, must get round to releasing it.

[ANN] XNAdaLib 2022 and GNATStudio 23.0wb for macOS Monterey.
XNAdaLib is a large set of ready to use Ada libraries prebuilt with GNAT FSF 12.1 for macOS.

Ada on apple silicon
For the next few years you’ll be able to run x86_64 binaries on Apple silicon. I produced an aarch64 package based on GCC 12.1.0, see here, but (a) GCC 12.1 won’t compile C code on Ventura, (b) if you want an ecosystem try Alire whose default toolset includes a GCC 12.2-based compiler, albeit x86_64!
