When you have this package installed applications that are built against repo-llvm/clang WILL fail unless they are rebuild against this package.

This includes QTCreator, kdevelop , mesa, intel-compute-runtime, gnome-builder to name a few.

Archlinux currently has 3 llvm git implementations

  1. This package

    • 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
    • Currently there's no repo with binary versions
  2. llvm-minimal-git

    • focuses on providing stuff needed for AUR mesa-git. Doesn't support cross-compiling or any bindings for external stuff like ocaml & python.
    • intended to be used with archlinux core,extra & community repos
    • compatible with extra llvm/clang packages
    • no repo with binary versions
  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

I've looked good at clang-trunk , llvm-svn, repo llvm/clang packages and think this package is now on route to become a worthy successor to llvm-svn .

  • llvm-libs-git holds the runtime libraries.

    It conflicts with the repo llvm-libs package. This is the only way to make sure the llvm linker from git is used, and that's needed for a full dev environment.

  • llvm-git

    has llvm , clang, compiler-rt, ocaml & python bindings, polly , lld , lldb .


The Package now uses a new environment variable to make ninja behave, NINJAFLAGS. If you want to use it adjust the snippet below to your desired values and add it to makepkg.conf.

Incase you are satisfied with ninja defaults you don't need to do anything.

# Add to makepkg.conf
# limit ninja to 20 jobs
# requires special code in PKGBUILD
# see ninja --help for additonal options
NINJAFLAGS="-j20"

The check() function fails rather often, but I do suggest to build with them. If build fails due to test failure you can add --nocheck to skip the tests.

Requires [testing] for now, but LTO should work: clang -flto -use-gold-plugin foo.c

Updated cppheaders.patch: http://aur.pastebin.com/xkPGiibJ Thanks for maintaining this package!

WFCody commented on 2010-11-22 21:32 (UTC)

Would you be interested in uploading a Clang-svn-selfhost package as well where the dependencies are changed from GCC to Clang? Otherwise I will do that. I do not want to step on anyones toes since I am new here and since this as far as I can see would be a very minor modification of this package.

EdwardXXIV commented on 2010-08-13 17:39 (UTC)

the cppheaders.patch needs to be updated again. thanks for maintaining this package!

I can't build this anymore: -It seems to depend on pod2html and pod2man, which perl provides. But these tools are in /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/bin/ which is not in the PATH. -The chmod at line 117 fails: chmod: cannot access `clang-svn/pkg/usr/lib/llvm/*.a': No such file or directory Static library are in "clang-svn/pkg/usr/lib/llvm/llvm/llvm/llvm/" which looks weird. I'm rebuilding complety to see if it changes something...

Hm, it sorted itself out after a remove and manual rebuild :)

Building of clang-svn has been failing recently: llvm[5]: Building Clang statement node tables with tblgen tblgen: Unknown command line argument '-gen-clang-stmt-nodes'. Try: '/var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/clang-svn/src/llvm-build/Release-Asserts/bin/tblgen -help'

I'm hit with a bug: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7069 Can anyone else can reproduce it? Is it only on Arch? Anton Korobeynikov said in comment http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7069#c3 that the compilation was fine for him... Also, "pkgconfig" is missing from makedepends. Or should it go in depends?

heftig commented on 2010-04-25 16:06 (UTC)

Thanks, updated.
