Llvm-project-16.0.0 build errors

[f001]

Hi everyone!

Newbie asking for help
I’m using Ubuntu 22 on an AMD X86_64 computer and I’m trying to install llvm/clang/… from scratch.
I’ve downloaded the project as https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-16.0.0/llvm-project-16.0.0.src.tar.xz, expanded it and proceeded as explained in README.me:

$ cd llvm-project
$ cmake -S llvm -B build -G “Unix Makefiles”
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=“clang;clang-tools-extra;lldb;lld;polly”
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES=“libcxx;libcxxabi”
-DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS=“libcxx;libcxxabi”

$ cd build
$ cmake --build . -j4

However the building process stops at 87% with the following errors:

[ 87%] Built target generate-cxx-headers
[ 87%] Building CXX object libcxxabi/src/CMakeFiles/cxxabi_shared_objects.dir/cxa_aux_runtime.cpp.o

gmake: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2

What am I doing wrong?
or … what should I be doing instead?

Thanks for your help,

Target is a pretty overloaded term, unfortunately In the case of LLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS, target refers to a target triple like x86_64-linux-gnu, which controls the platform (OS and architecture) you’re building code for, not a target in the build system sense. It doesn’t sound like you want to cross-compile, so just omit the -DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS="libcxx;libcxxabi" from your configure (you’ll have to blow away your build directory and reconfigure, unfortunately) and see if that works.

It worked!

Thanks
