Install for uvvm

[avelure]

I tried the install option for uvvm and it seems to have a problem with some path handling.
This is from within the clang64 mintty environment

$ nvc --install uvvm
mkdir -p /home/arild.velure/.cache/nvc/UVVM-v2024.07.03b
git clone --recursive https://github.com/UVVM/UVVM -b v2024.07.03b /home/arild.velure/.cache/nvc/UVVM-v2024.07.03b --depth=1

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

I tried from the native windows11 commandline and then it seems to try to execute the install script with WSL instead of with sh which is in the path from msys. This might not be a nvc issue though.

** Fatal: bash C:\msys64\clang64\libexec\nvc\install-uvvm.sh failed with status 1

Running sh C:\msys64\clang64\libexec\nvc\install-uvvm.sh from the win11 commandline gives the same result as from the clang64 mintty.

If I cd /home/arild.velure/.cache/nvc/UVVM-v2024.07.03b/uvvm_util/script/ and do the failing command displayed in the script output nvc.exe --std=2008 --work=C:/msys64/home/arild.velure/.nvc/lib/uvvm_util.08 -LC:/msys64/home/arild.velure/.nvc/lib -a --relaxed ../src/types_pkg.vhd it is parsed ok.

Running sh C:\msys64\clang64\libexec\nvc\install-uvvm.sh from the win11 commandline gives the same result as from the clang64 mintty.

How about if you try /usr/bin/bash /msys64/clang64/libexec/nvc/install-uvvm.sh from the clang64 prompt? Also try which bash and which sh.

I tried from the native windows11 commandline and then it seems to try to execute the install script with WSL instead of with sh which is in the path from msys.

This is unfortunate. It just picks up the first bash.exe in the path. Longer term I'd like to replace these shell scripts with TCL as the interpreter is then embedded, but that isn't a hard dependency at the moment.

Sorry, forgot about this one.
