Building Ada Language Server from sources

1. Install Alire, Python 3, NodeJS. Add them to PATH.

2. Disable dependency sharing in Alire

   alr settings --global --set dependencies.shared false
   

3. Clone repository

   git clone https://github.com/AdaCore/ada_language_server.git
   cd ada_language_server
   

4. If you know dependency commits numbers then create deps.txt file with lines <repo_name>=commit. Otherwise checkout edge branch.

5. Build scripts installs Python modules. So it's better to activate venv for Python:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

6. Run build_als.sh script

   ./scripts/build_als.sh
