With llvm 15.0.3 "-DLLVM_USE_STATIC_ZSTD=ON" is no longer required when building llvm. When building zig, the PKGBUILD needs to be updated, removing the "#commit=e2...fd" and adding "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local/llvm15 \" to the cmake command.

An update as to what to do to build with a local copy of llvm15.
- As of zig 0.10.0-dev.4333+f5f28e0d2 the patch from 12888 is no longer required.
- The commit still needs to be removed from the PKGBUILD.
- With llvm 15.0.2 you need to add -DLLVM_USE_STATIC_ZSTD=ON to the llvm make command shown below.

The package build has been updated to build the last version of zig that builds with llvm 14. If you want to build master, in addition to changes I posted below, you now need to remove the #commit=e2bb92b2e27dc54852a0227345e294ae383358fd from the source.

Zig updated to llvm15. Looks like Arch is taking time to integrate llvm15. I my opinion creating a local copy of llvm is the way to go. This is what I use:

cd ~/llvm
git clone --depth 1 --branch release/15.x https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project llvm-project-15
cd llvm-project-15
git checkout release/15.x
mkdir build
cd build
make ../llvm -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local/llvm15 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local/llvm15 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="lld;clang" -DLLVM_ENABLE_LIBXML2=OFF -DLLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO=OFF  -DLL
VM_ENABLE_LIBEDIT=OFF  -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON  -G Ninja  -DLLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS=1 -DLLVM_ENABLE_BINDINGS=OFF
ninja install

Read zig issue 12888: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12888 and manually update the PKGBUILD as per the issue. I use:

PATH=$HOME/local/llvm15:$PATH yay -S --editmenu zig-git

I can't build it, because zig need llvm 15 (not 14)

@edtoml Updated. It should work now.

With the latest changes to the Zig build process the PKGBUILD no longer works. Problem is that the "cmake --build build" attempts to write directly to /usr/lib. The last part of the build uses zig (stage2) and wants to use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr as written when building stage3. This is the second version of this PKGBUILD.

https://zigbin.io/bdc712

build() {
    cmake -B build -S zig \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../stage3 \
        -DZIG_PREFER_CLANG_CPP_DYLIB=ON \
        -DZIG_STATIC_ZLIB=on
    cmake --build build
}

check() {
    # omit full compiler test since it takes ages
    ../stage3/bin/zig version
}

package() {
    mv ../stage3 "$pkgdir/usr"
    install -Dm644 zig/LICENSE "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$provides/LICENSE"
}

Your mileage may vary

krismolendyke commented on 2022-07-12 21:03 (UTC)

This builds w/ LLVM 14 for me now but I had to add -DZIG_STATIC_ZLIB=on as mentioned here https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12069#issuecomment-1179757906

I just update arch, and now it doesn't build with the following error:

-- Configuring zig version 0.10.0-dev.2855+aab1284e1
CMake Error at cmake/Findllvm.cmake:70 (message):
  expected LLVM 13.x but found 14.0.6 using /usr/bin/llvm-config
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:107 (find_package)

It can be fixed with:

 pacman -S llvm13 clang13 lld13

And add to PKGBUILD

    -DLLVM_CONFIG_EXE=/usr/lib/llvm13/bin/llvm-config \
    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/usr/lib/llvm13/include/" \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/usr/lib/llvm13/include/" \
    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L/usr/lib/llvm13/lib/" \

to the cmake call (first one)
