| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Getting Started |
| 13 | +=============== |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +On Mac OS, the easiest way to get this library is to link with -lSystem. |
| 16 | +However if you want to build tip-of-trunk from here (getting the bleeding |
| 17 | +edge), read on. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The basic steps needed to build libc++ are: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +#. Checkout LLVM: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + * ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live`` |
| 24 | + * ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm`` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +#. Checkout libunwind: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live`` |
| 29 | + * ``cd llvm/runtimes`` |
| 30 | + * ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind`` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +#. Configure and build libunwind: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + CMake is the only supported configuration system. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libunwind. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + * ``cd where you want to build llvm`` |
| 39 | + * ``mkdir build`` |
| 40 | + * ``cd build`` |
| 41 | + * ``cmake -G <generator> [options] <path to llvm sources>`` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + For more information about configuring libunwind see :ref:`CMake Options`. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * ``make unwind`` --- will build libunwind. |
| 46 | + * ``make check-unwind`` --- will run the test suite. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + Shared and static libraries for libunwind should now be present in llvm/build/lib. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +#. **Optional**: Install libunwind |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + If your system already provides an unwinder, it is important to be careful |
| 53 | + not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to |
| 54 | + select a safe place to install libunwind. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + * ``make install-unwind`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. An out-of-tree |
| 60 | +build would look like this: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +.. code-block:: bash |
| 63 | +
|
| 64 | + $ cd where-you-want-libunwind-to-live |
| 65 | + $ # Check out llvm, and libunwind |
| 66 | + $ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm`` |
| 67 | + $ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind`` |
| 68 | + $ cd where-you-want-to-build |
| 69 | + $ mkdir build && cd build |
| 70 | + $ export CC=clang CXX=clang++ |
| 71 | + $ cmake -DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm \ |
| 72 | + path/to/libunwind |
| 73 | + $ make |
| 74 | +
|
| 75 | +
|
| 76 | +.. _CMake Options: |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +CMake Options |
| 79 | +============= |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a |
| 82 | +brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the |
| 83 | +CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING |
| 86 | + Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are |
| 87 | + Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio |
| 88 | + the user sets the build type with the IDE settings. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH |
| 91 | + Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the |
| 92 | + "INSTALL" target is built. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING |
| 95 | + The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libunwind. |
| 96 | + |
