During building you may encounter lots of coredumps, slowing build down or even dramatically reducing the responsiveness of your system.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_dump for solutions/workarounds .

Archlinux currently has 3 llvm git implementations

  1. this package

    • see other pinned comments for details

  2. llvm-git

    • It aims to provide a full llvm/clang compiler environment for development purposes.
    • Supports cross-compiling , bindings for external stuff (python, ocaml etc) , and some things not in extra-llvm.
    • intended to be used with archlinux core,extra & community repos
    • CONFLICTS with extra llvm/clang packages
    • binary versions in chaotic aur unofficial repository

  3. packages created & maintained by Lordheavy, an arch developer

    • intended to be used with archlinux testing repos
    • sometimes has problems on systems where testing repos are disabled
    • uses same package structure as llvm/clang in official repos
    • source
    • binary versions in LordHeavys unoffical repo

Why does this package exist ?

Llvm & aur llvm-git are intended to provide a full development environment of llvm/clang suite that can replace eachother completely (aur llvm-git adds some xtra functionality)

llvm-minimal-git is a stripped-down llvm trunk build with these goals :

  • llvm-libs-minimal-git must coexist with stable llvm-libs
  • provide what's needed for mesa trunk (it's a hard dependency for mesa-minimal-git and a possible dependeny for mesa-git)
  • provide basic llvm/clang compiler functionality on x86-64 architecture

Some of the things that are stripped out :

  • cross-compiling support
  • bindings for ocaml
  • bindings for go
  • lld , lldb and polly
  • documentation
  • examples
  • benchmarks

Maintainers (and users) should only depend on llvm-miminal-git after verifying it satisfies what they need.

When building this you are likely to see test failures in terminal output / logs.

The command used for the tests has been changed to continue regardless of failures. Incase you don't want to run the tests you can use --nocheck option of makepkg.

I get a CMake error when trying to build this in a clean chroot:

CMake Error: The inter-target dependency graph contains the following strongly connected component (cycle):
  [... a ton of targets ...]
At least one of these targets is not a STATIC_LIBRARY.  Cyclic dependencies are allowed only among static libraries.
CMake Generate step failed.  Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Set up clean chroot as described in the wiki
  • install dependencies: arch-nspawn $CHROOT/root pacman -S git cmake libedit python python-setuptools
  • git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/llvm-minimal-git.git
  • cd llvm-minimal-git and then makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT

I have encountered problems during building that indicate options=('!lto') is ignored by makepkg but OPTIONS=('!lto') does work.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293226 for more info

The issue was not having !debug in the PKGBUILD, corrected.

thanks for the headsup, will look into it.

Kitlith commented on 2024-03-12 00:24 (UTC) (edited on 2024-03-12 00:26 (UTC) by Kitlith)

Small heads up, LLVM version numbers are no longer contained in llvm-project/llvm/CMakeLists.txt, but are instead in llvm-project/cmake/Modules/LLVMVersion.cmake, which causes the PKGBUILD to generate a bad pkgver and break unless you point pkgver() at the new file.

Soname change issue was solved in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/82660 .

Lone_Wolf commented on 2024-02-20 11:58 (UTC)

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/91a384621e5b762d9c173ffd247cfeadd5f436a2 changed soname of the libllvm library and broke this package.

That's just the default if you haven't set MAKEFLAGS.

Look at /etc/makepkg.conf , you'll see 

#-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
#MAKEFLAGS="-j2"

My main desktop has a 12C/24T processor and after some experimentation I found using 20 jobs gives fast compiling while still allowing me to do other things.

My /etc/makepkg.conf has this line just below the 2 shown above

MAKEFLAGS="-j20"

maintuner commented on 2024-02-02 15:40 (UTC)

Hi, could you please add -j $(nproc) to every make command? This package builds very slowly because it uses only 1 CPU core.

mdupont commented on 2023-12-29 17:44 (UTC)

thank you very much @Lone_Wolf. I was missing clang-minimal-git. Works perfectly now!

Lone_Wolf commented on 2023-12-29 10:11 (UTC)

It does build everything needed for clang on x86_64 .

Just build without changing the PKGBUILD, after build is ready use pacman -U to install/update llvm-libs-minimal-git & clang-libs-minimal-git & clang-minimal-git .

Then run

$ clang --version
$ clang-format --version

to verify they are present and working.
