Version command not running

[vani2620]

I tried building the project from source and while it seemed to have built successfully, running alr version doesn't seem to work. I'm using 64-bit Windows. The error I get reads

Program 'alr.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.At line:1
char:1

• alr version

At line:1 char:1

•   + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException

How did you do the build?

For this kind of question I think is more appropriate to use the Discussions, at least unless some clear bug is identified. I'm going to convert this issue but I don't think it changes anything wrt to subscriptions and etc.

I did try installing it prior to the build, too, and I ran into the same issue, although that at least worked when I ran the .exe file.

P.S. Apologies for the late replies. I...forgot to check my email.

I still need more details on how you did the build, more precisely did you do one of:

• alr build
• gprbuild -P alr_env.gpr
  ?

Also, what's the output of gnat --version?

[vani2620]

I used the gprbuild -P alr_env.gpr command for the build.

gnat --version outputs the following:

Can't say how could this happen. Truncated executable (out of space?), another alr for other platform downloaded elsewhere but also in path?

...It ended up being the latter. I installed it via WSL2 on Ubuntu-22.04 and it works perfectly fine.
