[llvm-dev] Building clang and llvm

[Chris Bieneman via llvm-dev]

Hi Praveen,

When configuring your LLVM & Clang build you can set the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER and CMAKE_C_COMPILER options on your CMake command line. To use libc++, you can set LLVM_ENABLE_LIBCXX=On during configuration time.

If you haven’t already, I suggest you look over the documentation of LLVM’s build system here:
http://www.llvm.org/docs/CMake.html <http://www.llvm.org/docs/CMake.html>

It lists many commonly used options and gives a basic explanation of how to use CMake.

Unfortunately, my gcc is 5.4.0, so clang still points to the old libstdc++ which doesn't support some features of c++17. Is there any way to build clang and llvm based on already pre-installed clang,llvm and make it use libc++ by default?

But I don't want to update gcc. I would like to have a solution with clang and llvm. Any answers or suggestions are highly appreciated.
