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.

confirmed, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5471

Mesa-git will need to be pacthed.

mesa-git currently fails to build with this installed:

../mesa/src/gallium/frontends/clover/llvm/codegen/native.cpp:31:10: fatal error: llvm/Support/TargetRegistry.h: No such file or directory
   31 | #include <llvm/Support/TargetRegistry.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With llvm 13 upstream decided to remove the master branch and work in the main branch instead.

The HEAD file in your local git will need to be changed to point to main .

Lone_Wolf commented on 2020-12-07 20:35 (UTC)

I decided to remove documentation, examples, benchmarks and a few more things.

Building now requires less dependencies , build time should be shorter and the binaries a bit smaller.

@yurikoles Thx for the hint! Will do next time! @Lone_Wolf Thx for the build error, it is working now just fine!

Thought a bit more about this package and am now considering to remove "basic llvm/clang compiler functionality on x86_64" and just target mesa-git with it.

That would allow to leave out documentation and possibly more things.

Lone_Wolf commented on 2020-03-26 12:29 (UTC)

It's minimal compared to llvm-git.

Also one of its goals is to provide basic compiler functionality . I do think accurate documentation is necessary for basic functionality.

recommonmark / swig / sphinx are makedepends and only needed during building. Just build in a clean chroot or use makepkg --syncdeps --rmdeps , and those dependencies won't be on your system.
