Installation

This chapter explains how to build and install the library.

Before Building

To build the Ada Keystore you will need the GNAT Ada compiler, either the FSF version available in Debian, FreeBSD systems NetBSD or the AdaCore GNAT Community 2019 edition.

Ubuntu

Install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install -y make gnat gprbuild git gnupg2

FreeBSD 12

Install the following packages:

pkg install gmake gcc6-aux-20180516_1,1 gprbuild-20160609_1 git gnupg-2.2.17_2

Windows

Get the Ada compiler from AdaCore Download site and install.

Install the following packages:

pacman -S git
pacman -S make
pacman -S base-devel --needed

Getting the sources

The project uses a sub-module to help you in the integration and build process. You should checkout the project with the following commands:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/stcarrez/ada-keystore.git
cd ada-keystore

Configuration

The library uses the configure script to detect the build environment, check which Ada Utility Library to use. If some component is missing, the configure script will report an error or it will disable the feature. The configure script provides several standard options and you may use:

  • --prefix=DIR to control the installation directory,
  • --enable-fuse to enable building the mount command with FUSE,
  • --enable-gtk to enable building the Gtk tool,
  • --enable-shared to enable the build of shared libraries,
  • --disable-static to disable the build of static libraries,
  • --disable-nls to disable NLS support,
  • --with-ada-util=PATH to control the installation path of Ada Utility Library,
  • --with-gtkada=PATH to control the installation path of Gtk Ada Library,
  • --help to get a detailed list of supported options.

In most cases you will configure with the following command:

./configure

The GTK application is not compiled by default unless you configure with the --enable-gtk option. Be sure to install the GtkAda library before configuring and building the project.

./configure  --enable-gtk

On Windows, FreeBSD and NetBSD you have to disable the NLS support:

./configure --disable-nls

Build

After configuration is successful, you can build the library by running:

make

After building, it is good practice to run the unit tests before installing the library. The unit tests are built and executed using:

make test

And unit tests are executed by running the bin/keystore_harness test program.

Installation

The installation is done by running the install target:

make install

If you want to install on a specific place, you can change the prefix and indicate the installation direction as follows:

make install prefix=/opt

Using

To use the library in an Ada project, add the following line at the beginning of your GNAT project file:

with "keystoreada";
