Show HN: Getada: rustup-like installer for Ada's toolchain/package manager

1. getada

   1 5 18 8.2 Ada

   An unofficial installer for Alire

   

   Getting alire installed involves downloading the zip, extracting the binary, and moving the binary to a directory in $PATH. If you're on a mac, you also have to run an "xattr" command on the tool to get it running.

   I've seen the last parts get newcomers tripped up so Getada takes the rustup approach.

   It uses github's api to retrieve the latest published release of alire[1] and then downloads and extracts it to a specified directory in $HOME. Then it creates an env file[2] and sources that file in .profile and/or .zshenv. It also logs everything that it does so it can undo it later with getada --uninstall

   [2] Here's roughly what the env file looks like that it creates https://github.com/AJ-Ianozi/getada/blob/main/src/shells.adb...

4. sdlada

   3 7 115 9.0 Ada

   Discontinued Ada 2022 bindings to SDL 2 [Moved to: https://github.com/ada-game-framework/sdlada]

   

   SDLAda has been around for a while: https://github.com/Lucretia/sdlada

   You can add it as a dependency to your Alire project: `alr with sdlada`

5. sdl2-examples

   4 3 343 6.9 Makefile

   SDL2 examples, for 25+ different programming languages

   

   I've had issues with the combination of Ada + SDL2 + Linux in connection with https://github.com/xyproto/sdl2-examples.

   Raylib is cool, though.

6. learn

   5 6 102 9.7 Ada

   Sources for learn.adacore.com (by AdaCore)

   

7. sdlada

   6 1 121 9.0 Ada

   Ada 2022 bindings to SDL 2 (by ada-game-framework)

   

   Look at the "Linking" section https://github.com/ada-game-framework/sdlada

   I'm looking into getting it all automated through pragma's and gpr's.
