Description MERCIER Jonathan 2012-03-15 00:55:50 UTC

Recently lldb team as work to enable lldb build under linux, as llvm provides clang will be great to do same for lldb.

Thabnks a lot

Note llvm 3.1 come soon

Comment 1 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-06-18 09:17:18 UTC

any news?

Comment 2 Michel Lind 2012-06-19 10:46:37 UTC

Hi Jonathan,

LLDB documentation does not mention Linux support yet, so I'm a bit hesitant about making it the default.

I need to reorganize the LLVM spec anyway -- need to find time to do that, so thanks for reminding me about this. I can make LLDB inclusion a build-time option, and you can test if it works for you -- how does that sound?

Comment 3 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-06-20 00:00:29 UTC

sound good :-)

thanks a lot for your works.
I have already in the past ask from LLVM mailling list to write a doc for linux but it is a bit slow in any case.

Comment 4 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-09-13 13:04:27 UTC

hi michel,
I see this bug with state Assigned . I would like to know what is the state ?

thanks a lot for your great job

kind regards

Comment 5 Michel Lind 2012-10-24 08:39:11 UTC

Upstream still does not support Linux, and attempting to build from the latest trunk fails with type cast problems.

Please refrain from reopening this until there is proper Linux support for LLDB (or other LLVM technologies)

Comment 6 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-10-24 20:15:33 UTC

Thanks a lot for your try, i seen this how to http://lldb.llvm.org/build.html

Comment 7 Michel Lind 2012-10-25 04:24:13 UTC

The instructions there are, sadly, wrong.

- configure --enable-libcpp does not make much sense since libcxx's (they don't call it consistently) website claims they only support OS X
- the CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 causes build to immediately fail with GCC

Looks like one can only build this with clang. Let me check with the packaging committee if we can have LLVM/clang self-hosting itself

Comment 8 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-10-25 06:27:16 UTC

ok thanks i search in same time some information.
So, it seem the current lldb trunk break the build on linux but rev  166514 should works

Comment 9 Michel Lind 2012-10-27 17:21:52 UTC

Without a patch to the spec and a mock build demonstrating that lldb actually builds, I don't have time to invest in this, sorry. Certainly not while upstream cannot even update the README, and the documentation barely mentions compiling with GCC.

Due to the critical use of LLVM to compile Mesa's LLVMpipe, we will not be switching to self-hosting LLVM and Clang anytime soon - unless someone wants to make it happen and is willing to take ownership of the switch. Until that happens, packaging LLDB will be a rather iffy proposition.
