Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8Hello? Anyone here with step-by-step instructions for getting a GCC-free
(and possibly glibc-free) LLVM on Ubuntu?Greetings,
Fabiano
Glibc free on a glibc host is difficult. I periodically try this but am yet to be totally successful. You can look at Alpine Linux for a working example where everything is built against musl.
The hazard I am blocked on is that clang uses third party code. Readline, zlib, probably others I’ve forgotten. Setting the cmake flags to build without them didn’t work, so I think one has to build these libraries with the musl targeting toolchain and then build clang against them.
Life is simpler if libcxx/cxxabi/unwind are all combined into a single archive. The cmake options to do that used to be broken, maybe that works in the new monorepo.
I’d be interested to hear if you succeed.
