Getting Started
===============
On Mac OS, the easiest way to get this library is to link with -lSystem.
However if you want to build tip-of-trunk from here (getting the bleeding
edge), read on.
The basic steps needed to build libc++ are:
#. Checkout LLVM, libunwind, and related projects:
* ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
* ``git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git``
#. Configure and build libunwind:
CMake is the only supported configuration system.
Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libunwind.
* ``cd where you want to build llvm``
* ``mkdir build``
* ``cd build``
* ``cmake -G <generator> -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=libunwind [options] <path to llvm sources>``
For more information about configuring libunwind see :ref:`CMake Options`.
* ``make unwind`` --- will build libunwind.
* ``make check-unwind`` --- will run the test suite.
Shared and static libraries for libunwind should now be present in llvm/build/lib.
#. **Optional**: Install libunwind
If your system already provides an unwinder, it is important to be careful
not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to
select a safe place to install libunwind.
* ``make install-unwind`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers
It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. An out-of-tree
build would look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd where-you-want-libunwind-to-live
$ # Check out llvm, and libunwind
$ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
$ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind``
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ export CC=clang CXX=clang++
$ cmake -DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm \
path/to/libunwind
$ make
.. _CMake Options:
CMake Options
=============
Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a
brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the
CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are
Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio
the user sets the build type with the IDE settings.
**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH
Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the
"INSTALL" target is built.
**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING
The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libunwind.
