Release 2.0.0 is available.

[RubberDucky007]

    Release 2.0.0 is available.

Tried to Compile it with gprbuild but it did not work.

gprbuild -P pla_util.gpr

pla_util.gpr:33:23: object directory "obj" not found cli.gpr:26:09: exec directory "../bin" not found cli.gpr:34:29: object directory "obj" not found common.gpr:30:29: object directory "obj" not found pla.gpr:32:29: object directory "obj" not found net.gpr:31:29: object directory "obj" not found gprbuild: "pla_util.gpr" processing failed

I did a git clone and the DIR's are not there. Downloaded as ZIP and the DIRs are not there too. Is this a problem with the tools or with the repo?

gprbuild --version

For what its worth, im running Debian 10 on a Arm64 machine and it compiled fine using similar version packages to you.

@RubberDucky007 - My guess is that GPRBUILD Community 2018 isn't creating the directories, although it looks like @glennodotcom used the same GPRBUILD version and it worked. I cloned the project into an empty directory and built it successfully with GPRBUILD Community 2021, which is still available from https://www.adacore.com/download. Smaller downloads of GPRBUILD are available under https://github.com/alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds/releases.

If you don't want to try a newer GPRBUILD, you could download the 2.0.0 source code zip or tar.gz file from https://github.com/serock/pla-util/releases/tag/2.0.0. Those archives should have the directories.

When I started working on this project, I put empty .gitignore files into the directories just to make sure that the directories exist. However, after the 2.0.0 release, those files were removed from the git repository because GPRBUILD was creating the directories. I don't know which release of GPRBUILD was the first to create the directories if they were missing.

@RubberDucky007 - It turns out that if you're using GPRBUILD Community 2018, you can add a -p option to the first invocation of the gprbuild command after cloning the repo:

gprbuild -p -P pla_util.gpr

I've updated the README. Thank you for reporting this issue.
