Naïve question about LLVM and Mac OS X (El Capitan)

Hi

apologies for the stupid question and - probably - for the inappropriate forum.

I am trying to install and compile a library/too that requires libclang.{a,dylib} and, unfortunately, libclangAST.{a,dylib} on Mac OS X.

I surmised that Mac OS X does NOT come with a full LLVM environment set up. Is that correct? (I have Xcode 7.3.1 installed).

If that is the case, what do you think is the best way to install LLVM libraries without interfering with the Xcode setup?

Thanks

Marco

Yes.

libraries without interfering with the Xcode setup?

I use homebrew to do it. If you are really concerned, you can have homebrew
not link it, but it should just work anyway.

Things i use that require libclang/libclangAST (for example, rtags), just
work in this setup.
