Hi @JulienGioux

Thanks for contacting wolfSSL Support. It looks as though this effort was started but never completed:
alire-project/alire-index#1023

I can help you open a feature request if you'd like. Just email us at support@wolfssl.com to get started.

Kind regards,
@embhorn - wolfSSL Support

I'd like to work on this, because I want to include my project coap_spark on the Alire index, and the first step should be having wolfssl also included.

I'd like also to add support of the WolfSSL build settings through Alire crate configuration, so I can turn on "-DWOLFSSL_STATIC" in the configuration of my crate.

For that, I plan to include the Alire-generated config/wolfssl_config.gpr file in wolfssl.gpr as is usual practice in Alire crates. That could also be used for the automatic OS configuration.

@Irvise, I've seen you included this project file as part of 79235a4. Do you see any problem with this plan?

default.gpr is still present, and I suppose it could still be used by users of the library that aren't working with Alire. Other possibility is including the Alire-generated config/wolfssl_config.gpr in Git.

It seems I have to make another change. I don't know why using the library through Alire introduces this change of behaviour, but the pragma Restrictions (No_Secondary_Stack); present in https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/blob/master/wrapper/Ada/gnat.adc was not applying to my project itself when I was extending the wolfssl.gpr project (here), but it is applying now when I use wolfssl.gpr through Alire. My project cannot work with that restriction, and I think the WolfSSL shouldn't force it on users, so I'm going to rename gnat.adc (otherwise is still used) and reference it only from default.gpr, not from the Alire project (wolfssl.gpr).

@joakim-strandberg gnat.adc was already in your original contribution, so I'd like also to know your opinion on this.
