A bunch of errors while installing VMKit and compiling LLVM

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi everyone

I wasn’t successful in running VMKit on my machine and I’m still struggling with doing it.
Maybe someone had at least one of my problems and knows how to solve it (because it seems to me that I ran into every problem that could occur :slight_smile: ).

Thanks in advance,
Sergii.

So here is the story:
I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with all important updates.
I’ll tell in advance that I was careful in trying to compile LLVM and VMKit
(i.e. I had only one version of llvm-gcc and/or clang installed at a
time, I always ran “make clean” before “make” etc.)

To build VMKit we have first to checkout and build LLVM. The VMKit “Getting started”
guide states: Make sure you have llvm-gcc or clang available when you configure LLVM.
Alternatively, you can also checkout clang in llvm-scr/tools.

The following steps are not done in sequence, they are alternatives

  1. Install llvm-gcc from Ubuntu repository. In this case the LLVM configuration
    script doesn’t see the gcc compiler although it’s installed
    ~/llvm/llvm-build$ sudo apt-get install llvm-gcc-4.5
    ~/llvm/llvm-build$ …/llvm-src/configure --enable-optimized
    checking for clang… no
    checking for llvm-gcc… llvm-gcc
    checking for C compiler default output file name… configure:
    error: C compiler cannot create executables

  2. Install older version of llvm-gcc from Ubuntu repository. This installation
    doesn’t create llvm-gcc executable but instead creates llvm-gcc-4.2 so I
    created a symlink to llvm-gcc-4.2. named llvm-gcc. The LLVM configuration goes fine
    but building LLVM produces an error

~/llvm/llvm-build$ sudo apt-get install llvm-gcc-4.2
~/llvm/llvm-build$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/llvm-gcc
~/llvm/llvm-build$ …/llvm-src/configure --enable-optimized
~/llvm/llvm-build$ make

I believe option 5 is the only solution that works right now :frowning: You’re not the first one that had problems with pre-installed llvm-gcc or clang. I’ll update the web page to say that one must checkout clang in tools/clang

Do you have ‘ant’? I think we forget to check if ant is installed on your machine :frowning: If not, please install it. If yes, could you also attach the output of make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 VERBOSE=1?

Thanks!

Hi, Nicolas

Indeed, I did not have ant installed and installing it allowed me to overcome the previous error. However the next one appeared. I have ran make with ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 VERBOSE=1 and here is the output (the last part of it)

Hi Sergii,

I think there is a problem in your configure command for VMKit. If you look at what you provide for glibj:

–with-gnu-classpath-glibj="/home/svozniuk/llvm/classpath-0.97.2

I don’t think it’s right. You should change it to:

–with-gnu-classpath-glibj="/home/svozniuk/llvm/classpath-0.97.2/lib/glibj.zip

Also please make sure that you have created the links for the shared libraries (step 2 of getting started)

And, if you sync, you might have the configure script warning you about that mistake. The support for detecting correct configure options for GNU Classpath just came in yesterday :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Nicolas

Thanks, Nicolas

Finally I got VMKit up and running. You were right – there was a problem in the configuration of glibj.zip.

Best regards,
Sergii.
