Can't install on MacOS x86 #10

I tried to install it via Alire based on the instructions in the repo, but it posted the following warning:

arn: Could not find a complete solution for ada_language_server=23.0.17
Build will fail unless externals are made available, do you want to continue?
[Y] Yes  [N] No  (default is No) Y
warn: Generating possibly incomplete environment because of missing dependencies
ⓘ Running post_fetch actions for xmlada=23.0.0...

It repeatedly asked if I wanted to continue and I answered Yes. Eventually, I answered "No" and it failed with the following error:

ⓘ Running post_fetch actions for templates_parser=23.0.0...
ⓘ Running post_fetch actions for libgpr2=24.0.0-20230509...
fatal: destination path 'gprconfig_kb' already exists and is not an empty directory.
error: A post-fetch action failed, re-run with -vv -d for details

What do I do?

Hello. I guess alr can't find the solution because libgmp is missing on MacOS. I guess, you need to fetch libgmp somewhere and set LIBRARY_PATH environment to point it. I suggest you find and delete gprconfig_kb directory (ada_language_server_23.0.17_62ec5657/alire/cache/dependencies/libgpr2_24.0.0_ff927a8e/gprconfig_kb), then try again. Or clean up everything. My libgpr2.toml script clones this directory in the post-fetch action and can't do it twice. I doubt the last ALS could be built with GNAT CE 2021 now. I don't have Mac OS to try, unfortunately. PS Don't hesitate to send a patch to README.md if you have ideas how to improve build instructions.
