I've tried to install cBound and am not quite sure what I need to do.
When I try to build the library it fails with:
 2023-01-12 13:37:54] /Ada_Source/cBound/tier-1/tensorflow/library/tensorflow.gpr:2:06: unknown project file: "swig"

I have installed swig4ada but it does not seem to have a gpr file.

Attempts to build the 'hello_tf' demo fails with:
/Ada_Source/cBound/tier-1/tensorflow/applet/demo/hello_tf/hello_tf.gpr:2:06: unknown project file: "tensorflow"
[2023-01-12 13:42:51] /Ada_Source/cBound/tier-1/tensorflow/applet/demo/hello_tf/hello_tf.gpr:3:06: unknown project file: "swig"

Not surprising as I couldn't build the tensorflow library?
