Building and Installation

Building and installation is very simple given the prerequisites are met.

The AURA reference implementation CLI program is a single executable, and may be installed anywhere the user desires (preferably somewhere under PATH$).

Config and Build

The AURA CLI program itself is dependent on ANNEXI-STRAYLINE’s ‘ASAP’ AURA repository, however these required components are included in the AURA CLI repository as submodules.

1. Clone the repo and checkout submodules

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/annexi-strayline/aura.git

2. Build it

cd AURA
./build.sh

The build script executes two steps:

1. Runs a configuration Python script (platform_config.py) which generates the base AURA target platform configuration base files platform_info.h and platform_info.ads. These base files are used to configure AURA according to the target.

2. Executes gnatmake -j0 to build the AURA binary in parallel

Note

Additional features are planned to give the user the ability to set the target triplet to build the AURA CLI for cross-compilation targets.

Install

Place the resulting aura executable where appropriate, typically somewhere under PATH$.
