Windows LLVM binary with LLVM C++ API

aminya · April 26, 2020, 11:51pm

We want to build a project (LLVM C backend) that needs LVM C++ API for building.

However, on Windows using the binaries provided in LLVM Download Page, we get this error: Unknown CMake command "add_llvm_library".

For example,

using Clang with MinGW Makefiles

How can we solve this issue?

This only happens on Windows and macOS and Ubuntu are fine.

Building LLVM from scratch is very hard and impossible for most of our users.

Hi aminya,

Could you paste the full output from your CMake script when run on Windows? And how do you install LLVM?

I’m not a Windows user so I can’t verify this, but my initial guess would be that either:

your LLVM package doesn’t contain the bits required for development (header files, CMake scripts)
or, perhaps, you do have the required installation, but when invoking CMake it is not finding it

In your CMake script you may also prefer to be a bit more explicit, i.e. use find_package(LLVM 10.0.0 REQUIRED CONFIG) instead of find_package(LLVM REQUIRED CONFIG). This way you are confident that you’re using LLVM 10.

Hope this helps!

I literally used the binary from llvm.org so if it doesn’t include the header files, etc, there should be an easy way to install them other than building from scratch like how every other OS can.

This is:

the output from cmake-gui

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No project() command is present.  The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
  contain a literal, direct call to the project() command.  Add a line of
  code such as

    project(ProjectName)

  near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().

  CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
  line.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Hi aminya,

Sorry for the delay and cheers for your quick reply! Also, you did specify where you got LLVM from in your original question - my bad for not noticing!

AFAIR (I only used them once, a while ago, i.e. before LLVM 10), the Windows packages from LLVM Download Page contained only binaries and libraries to develop with LLVM. One relatively easy check is to look for LLVMConfig.cmake in the installation directory. If it’s not there then you may need to look for LLVM elsewhere or submit a bugzilla ticket.

If LLVMConfig.cmake is available then I’d experiment with your CMakeLists.txt a bit more. In particular, it contains this:

  find_package(LLVM REQUIRED CONFIG)
  message(STATUS "Found LLVM ${LLVM_PACKAGE_VERSION}")
  message(STATUS "Using LLVMConfig.cmake in: ${LLVM_DIR}")

However, these messages are not printed in the log from cmake-gui that you posted. This suggests to me that find_package was not run at all (hence LLVM’s CMake scripts have not been loaded and as a result add_llvm_library is not available.

I hope that this helps. Again, it is tricky without testing on an actual Windows machine.

-Andrzej

Thanks for the answer and sorry for the late response.

Is there an LLVMConfig.cmake I can download from somewhere?

In Linux releases, there is an llvm-config executable that gives all the paths, but this does not exist in Windows!

Writing my own LLVMConfig will not help, because it needs to include LLVM_definitions as well.

aminya · June 15, 2020, 9:26am

Any solution for this?

agoodzhang · June 30, 2020, 6:32pm

Hi,aminya , Have you solved your problem?The same error occurred when I used the Cmake GUI on Windows.

agoodzhang · July 2, 2020, 12:47pm

I tried to replacing add_llvm_library with add_library, the error is no longer displayed. You can try it.
