[cfe-dev] Using Xcode to compile clang, still possible ?

[Nat!]

Hi

as a clang newbie, I used the „Getting Started“ (http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html)  documentation and I could build everything nicely using cmake. I was also able to create a LLVM.xcodeproj file. But that project is huge.

Judging from an older blog entry (http://www.stuartcarnie.com/2012/06/llvm-clang-hacking-part-1.html), it should also be possible to just create a clang.xcodeproj file, which would be much preferable to me, but I can’t get it to work.

I set this environment variables to get llvm-config to be found

PATH=`pwd`/build/bin:`pwd`/build/tools:$PATH
export PATH

But then I get

walitza:clang nat$ cmake -DCLANG_PATH_TO_LLVM_SOURCE=../llvm -DCLANG_PATH_TO_LLVM_BUILD=../build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../llvm/tools/clang

Doesn’t that work anymore ?
