I'm a *nix user, installing LLVM is easy for me, just download the precompiled file, set LLVM_DIR, and you're done. But I'm having a lot of problems with Windows ...
I downloaded LLVM-<version>-win64.exe from the GitHub release, but I can't find LLVMConfig.cmake file. Then I tried to compile LLVM from the source following this documentation.
When I started compiling my own project, I got this error:
'C:/<...>/Debug/libLLVMSupport.lib', needed by '<...>.exe', missing and no known rule to make it
I guess maybe I'm missing some compile options. but I can't find the documentation for LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS or BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, not even a list of component names.
I tried to add -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON but CMake told me BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option is not supported on Windows.

I've been using Eclipse for a while now for java development and it is seamless. I considered using eclipse for C development also. I installed C/C++ IDE CDT 9.9 addon from the marketplace. I now can create a Makefile project and develop code. But, I'm not able to debug code. After some research, I understood that the native debugger CDT is integrated with, GDB is no longer shipped with macOS. So, at this point, I understood that I have two solutions:
Install GDB and everything works normally.
Install LLDB addon for Eclipse available at the marketplace and everything works normally.
I went on installing LLDB addon for Eclipse and when tried to debug, it showed me:
I checked it in the terminal and I found out that lldb is available and lldb-mi is not available. I googled it and found lldb-mi. To install lldb-mi as shown on the Github page, I needed to install CMake. When I try to generate build files for lldb-mi using CMake, it showed me:
After seeing this message, I thought I may need to install LLVM. I googled and found two ways:
Install from Homebrew
Compile and build from source code and install from it
I chose to go and compile the source code and install it. I downloaded llvm-9.0.0.src and generated build as instructed here. It took almost 2 hours and gave this error:
Now, as I understand it, I just generated build files(Makefiles) and compiled the LLVM source code. It's 19GB in size now. Should I go ahead and install it? or have I misinterpreted anything and did anything wrong?
As #Tsyvarev pointed out, using sudo, llvm got installed successfully. Now, lldb-mi needs to be installed. When I go back and cmake ., it's showing me this error:
Karthiks-MacBook-Pro:lldb-mi-master karthik$ sudo cmake .

-- Using LLVMConfig.cmake in: /usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/Users/karthik/Downloads/lldb-mi-master/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
As #squareskittles pointed, I understood that lldb-mi requires lib_lldb for cmake to generate build files. I did:
$git clone https://github.com/lldb-tools/lldb-mi
$cd lldb-mi
$mkdir build
$cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=path/to/llvm/root/tree -S . -B build/
CMake should generate all the build files into lldb-mi/build/. It is successful.
$cd build
$make
make should compile the code. It produced:
Karthiks-MacBook-Pro:lldb-mi karthik$ cd build
Karthiks-MacBook-Pro:build karthik$ make

I put space between those > >, but there are still a lot of errors in the code.
I presume there are errors in the lldb-mi repository itself.
Can anyone tell me what I should be doing now?
Thanks in advance!
The lldb-mi not longer present from Xcode 11.x, but lldb and LLDB.Framework already included in the Xcode.
Use the lldb-mi that comes bundled with previous versions of XCode( 10.x) , the location is ‘Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/lldb-mi’, copy it to the same location of current version XCode.
And, in Eclipse, change the lldb command location.
Fine!
I downloaded the latest release of OpenSceneGraph (3.4.0) (zipped file and latest github repository).
I am trying to generate at least the osgviewerQT and osgViewerWX examples. They are contained in the examples folder, but after using CMake to generate everything, the only osgviewer-Example is osgviewerGLUT. Also osgqt.lib and osgwx.lib are missing in the lib-folder after building the generated projects via ALL_BUILD and INSTALL.
In CMake I made sure that all wx and Qt5 (using Qt5.6) folders are found. But still no examples after generating. Any ideas?
The CMake rules for OpenSceneGraph include a BUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES toggle. Did you select that option in CMake?
You need to select the BUILD_OSG_APPLICATIONS toggle and you will see the applications (osgarchive, osgconv, osgfilecache, osgversion, osgviewer, present3D) in the bin directory.
In order to compile osgViewerQt you need to set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to the location where you have qmake (typically in the directory bin of Qt). This varialbe, when not just found, is available under "Ungrouped Entries".
After setting such url, CMake will be able to find Qt; then, enabling BUILD_OSG_APPLICATIONS and BUILD_OSG_EXAMPLES, it will also build other applications related to Qt.
I'm currently building a compiler/interpreter in C/C++.
When I noticed LLVM I thought it would fit greatly to what I needed and so I'm trying to integrate LLVM in my existing build system (I use CMake).
I read this bout integration of LLVM in CMake. I copy and pasted the example CMakeLists.txt, changed the LLVM_ROOT to ~/.llvm/ (that's where I downloaded and build LLVM and clang) and it says it isn't a valid LLVM-install. Best result I could achieve was the error message "Can't find LLVMConfig" by changing LLVM_ROOT to ~/.llvm/llvm.
My ~/.llvm/ folder looks like this:
~/.llvm/llvm # this folder contains source files
~/.llvm/build # this folder contains object, executable and library files
I downloaded LLVM and clang via SVN. I did not build it with CMake.
Is it just me or is something wrong with the CMakeLists.txt?
This CMake documentation page got rotted, but setting up CMake for LLVM developing isn't different from any other project. If your headers/libs are installed into non-standard prefix, there is no way for CMake to guess it.
You need to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the LLVM installation prefix or CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to prefix/share/llvm/cmake to make it work.
And yes, use the second code snippet from documentation (under Alternativaly, you can utilize CMake’s find_package functionality. line).
This has been asked here before but I couldn't find a solution which works for me.
Sample CMakeLists.txt file for LLVM project - This was the original question.
However, there are a couple of issues I am facing when making a project with LLVM.
Platform: Windows 7
Compiler: MingW
1) Firstly, I am using the svn version of llvm which is currently at 3.1. Currently, Binaries for MingW are not present for llvm 3.0 too so I decided to go with the latest itself and build it with mingw. So although the build works fine, I cannot seem to find the llvm-config perl script in the bin folder. I tried searching the entire dir yet I can only find an llvm-config folder and a dependencies file.
2) I tried building llvm for Visual studio 2010 yet that didn't work with cmake so I had to use MingW.
3) Now, this is sequence in which I add libs to CMake -
LLVMXCoreInfo
LLVMMipsAsmPrinter
LLVMMipsCodeGen
LLVMMipsInfo
LLVMMBlazeAsmPrinter
LLVMMBlazeCodeGen
LLVMMBlazeInfo
LLVMLinker
LLVMipo
LLVMInterpreter
LLVMInstrumentation
LLVMJIT
LLVMExecutionEngine
LLVMMC
LLVMBitWriter
LLVMX86Disassembler
LLVMX86AsmParser
LLVMX86AsmPrinter
LLVMX86CodeGen
LLVMX86Info
LLVMAsmParser
LLVMARMAsmParser
LLVMMCParser
LLVMARMAsmPrinter
LLVMARMCodeGen
LLVMARMInfo
LLVMArchive
LLVMBitReader
LLVMSelectionDAG
LLVMAsmPrinter
LLVMCodeGen
LLVMScalarOpts
LLVMInstCombine
LLVMTransformUtils
LLVMipa
LLVMAnalysis
LLVMTarget
LLVMMC
LLVMCore
LLVMSupport
imagehlp
psapi
m
4) However, adding InitializeNativeTarget(), starts giving me linking errors which I think come because of the dependencies not being in right order.
5) I want to use the llvm_map_components_to_libraries(REQ_LLVM_LIBRARIES jit native) and hence I added this to my CMakeLists.txt
INCLUDE(cmake/LLVM-Config.cmake)
However, this doesn't work. CMake Error at cmake/LLVM-Config.cmake:141 (message):
Library `jit' not found in list of llvm libraries.
Now, the question is really too long but I basically wanted to ask what is the best way to do this in CMake. Could someone post the entire thing (for windows).
Also, is there a way to build it for VS 2010. I tried the instructions on CLang site but those gave me this error in CMake.
" string sub-command REGEX, mode MATCH needs at least 5 arguments total to command."
I really need some help figuring out how to get dependencies to work in llvm and for it to build with VS. I would really appreciate some help.
Windows VC++ 2008
linux gcc 4.4.3
I have the following problem. When I compile on windows I need the ws2_32 library. However, when I compile on linux, I don't need to link this.
My CMakeLists.txt
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES($CLIENT_SERVER_SOURCE_DIR/client)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES($CLIENT_SERVER_SOURCE_DIR/cltsvr_ults)
# Link the library
LINK_DIRECTORIES($CLIENT_SERVER_DIR/client)
# Add the executable
ADD_EXECUTABLE(clt test_clt)
# Link the executable to the client library
IF(WIN32)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(clt client ws2_32)
ENDIF(WIN32)
IF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXXX)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(clt client)
ENDIF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXXX)
I have tried unsuccessfully to compile under linux. Using the above conditions. However, It always tries to link the ws2_32 and I get a compile error. I think that the conditions aren't working, as it always falls through the WIN32 condition.
many thanks for any suggestions,
Since the WIN32 thing is such a fundamental part of CMake, I'd guess that there is more to this than what you mention.
Are you doing a clean check out of your code, or just copying up a whole directory on Linux? If you have all your CMake build files cached from the Windows build, maybe (just maybe!) something has snuck in there and "detects" itself as WIN32 on Linux?
Are you sure it is that line and not something else that causes the link to the stray Win-library? Maybe try a MESSAGE(STATUS "I am here")line within the IF(WIN32) just to make sure.
Are you sure the error is caused by linking that library? I can see a typo in your script, it should be IF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX) - you have an extra X on there. Perhaps you are not linking in what you thing you are, and that is why it fails.
