Apparently I did not read your documentation carefully enough...I thought that having SDL installed via HomeBrew was optional, not required.

Since I'm not using ALIRE (ALR), but using gnatmake (I'm on a Mac mini with an M1 chip, ALR refuses to get most packages because I don't have a native Ada compiler), I thought that the HomeBrew mention was in regards to using the SDLAda package via ALIRE.

So that's a different problem requiring a different post :-)

Thanks,
