Is there a way to set project's **Target** and **Runtime**?

[Joebeazelman]

Currently, you can add and remove dependencies of a project as well as indirectly configure the project using Alire and or the project's toml file.

For my HAL scripting, I would like to issue an Alire command to configure the Target and Runtime variables for a project file.

Unfortunately, it unclear if these variables are supported. Can it be done and how?

There's nothing in Alire about these variables for now. Perhaps you can set them using environment variables?

[Fabien-Chouteau]

Right now Alire doesn't know about targets and run-times and I think it's going to stay like that for the foreseeable future.

Can you explain a little bit more what you want to achieve?

[Joebeazelman]

Thanks a lot! There's a ton of very valuable information here. The goal of my project is to provide a rapid onboarding process for Ada MCU development. I took a look at your repo and while I am not certain what direction your going, we seem to be going in the same direction. It would be a waste to duplicate each other's efforts going forward.

The first part of my generator successfully initializes a new library crate using Alire, adds HAL as a dependency, generates MCU specific code using Svd2Ada, and performs the initial build. Currently, SVD file path is passed in as a command line argument, but it would be even better to just pass in the MCU name and let the generator automagically find and download the SVD from an external repository.

It appears you already completed the last part of my project. I couldn't find the generator script for the prototype projects. Perhaps we should combine forces and take my project to the finish line and release it. If you're interested, I can add you to my private so we can collaborate on it.

As a warning, I'm not a Python programmer, I'm learning it as I'm developing the generator.

[Fabien-Chouteau]

Indeed we have a common goal.

I'am ok too look at your project, if/when I have time. If you can consider making it public it will be easier to collaborate.
Also other people than me might want to join in.

[Joebeazelman]

Sure, but I don't want people using it just yet as it's a bit rough. I haven't tested it on Windows or Linux.

[Fabien-Chouteau]

Just write this in your README. To own anything to people trying beta stuff.

[Joebeazelman]

OK It's public and GPL3.0 with readme stating issues.
