Building Matreshka on Windows

Building Matreshka on Windows

[Shark8]

I recently came across Matreshka on this wikipedia page -- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Libraries/Database -- when searching for FireBird bindings to Ada... Ada bindings to FireBirs? Whatever.

Anyway, the user-guide is pretty unhelpful when on a Windows machine -- http://forge.ada-ru.org/matreshka/wiki/Guide -- essentially requiring the whole unix-like environment... so my questions are thus: has anyone gotten it to build on Windows? has anyone gotten it to build WITHOUT Cygwin, MSYS, etc?

PS -- I'd much rather not use Cygwin et al; it adds another layer of tools and idiosyncrasies to the environment.

PPS -- Why do people think "make" is a good way to build/install anyway? (I tried running it through Borland's make, but no joy -- what else do you expect from a tool developed on/with/for C?)

Ada, Watson!

BTW, gprbuild can C. Granted, gprbuild is a big step back from gnatmake, 
but still miles ahead of make.

Why do say gprbuild is a big step back from gnatmake? I don't have enough knowledge of both to evaluate your saying.

Thx.

Because in my opinion it is built upon an inferior technology. It uses 
XML, it is not self-contained (has a mess of semi-hidden supplementary 
files spread all around the system). It is very easy and common to have 
gprbuild not working where gnatmake never had any problem. The biggest 
danger is turning it into yet another "configure" / CMake.

Unless you go out of your way, the configuration files are all under
$prefix/share/gprconfig/

When things work, all is fine. When they don't, it can be tricky; the
way the configuration files specify commands to run and grepping the
output for particular patterns is challenging:

On the Mac, GCC 5 and 6 generate shared libraries with names like
libgnat-6.dylib; GCC 4, names like libgnat-4.8.dylib. gnatls reports
itself as e.g. GNATLS 6.1.0. The original share/gprconfig/compilers.xml
file looked for the first 2 fields of the version; libgnat-6.1.dylib
wasn't found. The fix was (cut back not to bore you)

     <version>
       <external>${PREFIX}gnatls -v --version</external>
-      <grep regexp="^GNATLS.+?(\d+(\.\d+)?)" group="1"></grep>
+      <grep regexp="^GNATLS.+?(\d+)" group="1"></grep>
     </version>

I'm very pleased that, since GPRBUILD 2016, I can use e.g.

   for Target use "arm-eabi";
   for Runtime ("ada") use "ravenscar-sfp-stm32f4";

in the GPR instead of having to specify on the command line.

Why did they move from gnatmake then?

Two things I find puzzling when I see this setup:

1 - why would compiler writers parse version strings using
     REs that can fail in ways that I'd be tempted to call
      classic when their core business actually depends on
     well working parsers?

2 - what makes compiler writers not use their languages'
     powers for communicating the information between processes
     in a structured way, with ease?

Business angst?


After a few years of seeing version identifiers change in
seemingly arbitrary ways, I am convinced that the technically
relevant information should be communicated using some
protocol to be endorsed by all parties involved.
Making version identifiers reflect hacks rarely works
for all parties.

One of the few micro formats that seem to work without AI is,
I guess, ISO date strings. The "ISO" part should ring a bell
or two.

That's for producing some 50 lines of error messages with a loud "SyntaxError" at the end, each time you start GPS. Perfect for impressing newcomers ;-)

BTW errors, I wished GNAT would stop right at the first error and kept 
any warnings silent until no errors came.

Amazing how compilation continuation survived long since the death of 
OS/360 batch jobs on the stack of punched cards...

The input formats to be processed by this RE are very limited, and under
AdaCore's control:

   (whatever GNAT Pro reports)
   GNATLS GPL 2016 (20160515-49)
   GNATLS 4.8.1

and it's not as though the RE processing is done by shelling out to run
grep (you can tell this because gprconfig runs on Windows).

A guess: gnatmake was designed for running the programs that translate
Ada source, compiling, binding, linking (gcc, gnatbind, gnatlink).
gprbuild is designed for running tools in multi-language projects.
How will integrating the multi-language tools proceed?

Multiple languages might imply the absence of organizational power
that strongly suggests how things be done. One that could force a
design for all languages matching the quality and usability of
gnatmake for Ada alone (or adamake for the AdaMagic line of tools).
The next best thing then is a project tool working like Make and
shell, relying on diverse forms of text, output by the tools for any
of those languages: gprbuild. The diverse tools can keep their
idiosyncrasies, thus reducing commercial effort and creating
opportunities for project management specialists. (Extending Gautier's
observation, this meets expectations of anyone coming from any other
language.)

Better suited to the task of configuring software translation will be
a typed, declarative language for handling rules and constants, I'd
think. A language that "knows" about multiple languages like
gnatmake knows about Ada. So, it wouldn't be either Ada or Python.

I was hoping that the formats are controlled, and few, but given the
generic nature of GPRBuild, won't similar declarations of REs be used
for "guessing" versions of tools not under AdaCore's control?  Like,
what if those version numbers will be reflecting Git tags applied by
third parties, like "v6.1-exp_BH-20160428A"?

On the plus side, it might feel like an easy job when one needs
to integrate a patched tool by adjusting REs. TTBOMK, correct REs
aren't that easy, though.

And this is the key point. Should it be a language? Really? If AdaCore 
knows these object languages (Ada, C, C++, Brainf*ck etc), why do they 
need a language to express that knowledge? Why do they need to 
communicate that knowledge to the poor end user? As a programmer I have 
no interest whatsoever in this knowledge. Why don't they let me alone?

Note this same question arises with handling Ada projects. You could try 
to use a language like GNU make to maintain an Ada project. Or you could 
have a non-language tool like gnatmake or AdaGIDE to handle that. What 
works better?

You might say they wanted it be open-ended so that I could add the 
Whitespace language to the list. The answer is no. I am not interested 
in doing this and the percentage of people who potentially may differ 
and would willingly become programmers of the configuration language 
does not pay off the miseries the huge majority of "normal" people have.

I just don't understand what makes you say this. If you are happy with
gnatmake without GPRs, carry on and use it, with all the mess of -A*
swithces that you will certainly need a makefile or other script to
remember for you. gprbuild will work just as well, except of course that
you do have to have a project file. Why on earth would you need to look
at $prefix/share/gprconfig?

gprbuild, of course.

I think the people who have problems such as you hint at with gprbuild
are not "normal".

Of course, one might think that people who want to program in Ada aren't
normal, either ...

You misunderstood the discussion. It was not GPR I complained about.

GPR is a language that describes an object language(s) project. I have 
little against it. At least it is has Ada-like syntax.

The discussion was about another language that would describe rules how 
to interpret a GPR file when it refers to some object language X (e.g. 
Ada or C). Roughly it is the language gprconfig uses.

My point was that this knowledge better be an integral part of gprbuild 
as it was of gnatmake. Georg suggested that somebody outside AdaCore 
could interested in keeping it elsewhere as grpbuild attempts to do.

That is too.

People enjoying playing with gprconfig are definitely not exactly "normal".

Every Ada compiler includes a tool for building a system based on the dependency 
information in the code. This information is one of Ada's major strengths. One 
has to learn the parameters to this tool, of course, but then building becomes 
one line, easily stored somewhere, such as a script.

So what does a program such as gprbuild buy you? You have to tell gnatmake where 
to find other things used in the system (-A*), but you do the same with 
gprbuild, in the form of paths in the withed projects. You have to supply the 
compiler switches, but you do the same with gprbuild, in the Switches 
declarations. You don't have to write the one-line script, but instead write a 
many-line project file.

Personally, I don't see that gprbuild adds any value; in fact, it seems to 
subtract value: You supply the same information and have to have the same 
knowledge, but you have to know the syntax of a project file as well, so the 
effort is increased. For this reason, I never voluntarily use gprbuild for my 
projects (which are always all Ada), and don't understand why anyone would think 
it an advantage to do so.

(Similar arguments apply against make.)

I never said I enjoyed it!

I was once congratulated by an AdaCore person for having managed to find

But at least that's a problem solved locally in the withed projects
(which can use relative paths).

Yes.  But don't you need to have two versions of that script, one for
Microsoft hosted compilers, and one for Unix hosted compilers?  Using
GNAT project files, you can typically get away with having only one.

> So what does a program such as gprbuild buy you?

If your projects only contain Ada sources - nothing that "gnatmake"
didn't have as well.

Since I typically work on multi-language projects (Ada,
Mercurial/Subversion, Macks, C), "gprbuild" makes a big difference for
me.

But I'm not at all fond of "gprconfig".  I'm in the middle of figuring
out how I can avoid "gprconfig", and provide ready to use ".cgpr" files
instead of providing XML files for "gprconfig", which have to be
installed before the project can be built.

They don't have to be "installed", at any rate not in the default
location. gprbuild has a --db switch:

  --db dir Parse dir as an additional knowledge base
  --db-    Do not load the standard knowledge base

You don't need Cygwin nor MSYS to compile matreshka. Just two packages make and coreutils (together less then 10 Mb in size, url in the guide). Just install these two pieces of software. That's all you need to start compilation.

So, yes - it works on windows without any problem. yes - it works WITHOUT Cygwin and MSYS.

It doesn't exist. (Yet.) ;)
Of those you listed PowerShell is, IMO, the best... but that's not really saying a lot. (GPRBuild is usable, in the way that C is, but we *really* ought to have a better project language.)

It seems your make is unable to start make. Could you add path to make.exe into PATH environment on the system level (/My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables/PATH=). Restart shell to apply new PATH setting and try again.

I see also that configure.exe doesn't find firebird automatically. Try to specify firebird directory explicitly:

make config
configure.exe --with-firebird-libdir="C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0"
make
