Ok, perhaps that was a wee-bit severe, but it sure does look like that is t= he case. What else am I to do? If I don't install homebrew then what is it that I need to do to achieve th= e objective? I'd like to use ALR, but it looks like it only works for pack= ages that are pure Ada (I'm not 100% sure of that, but it seems to be the c= ase). So please show me what to do that will result in further progress with ALR = and an M1 chip without using homebrew... Also, I'm still learning how to use gprbuild, so I really don't understand = how to proceed with the hand-patching of the sdlada porting to MacPorts iss= ue (different thread). Thanks, Ken
