[lldb-dev] Prologue instructions having line information

Tue Sep 19 03:19:57 PDT 2017

I have been trying to build LLDB on Windows (7) and after couple of days, I
managed to have a successfull build.

These are my findings:

1) Follow the instructions from

https://lldb.llvm.org/build.html

2) With Python 2.7, the cmake process fails, as it can't locate the
following files:

python_d.exe
python27_d.lib
python27_d.dll

3) During the installation of Python 3.6, make sure to include the Debug
Symbols, which are the missing files from (2).

4) Set the following environment variables:

PYTHONHOME  -> Directory where Python 3.6 is installed
PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONHOME%\Lib                     <- Lib
PYTHON_INCLUDE=%PYTHONHOME%\Include
PYTHON_LIB=%PYTHONHOME%\Libs

5) SWIG

Download the distribution specified in the LLDB documentation:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-3.0.12.zip

Unzipp the whole contents and add an environment variable like

SWIG_DIR  -> Directory where the zip file was unzipped.

It seems that the only way for cmake to pick up some of the previous
environment variables, is to specifiy them as parameters in the command
line.

At the end, with the following command line I managed to get a successful
build.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DSWIG_DIR=C:\ProgramData\SWIG  -DPYTHON_HOME=C:\ProgramData\Python36
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=C:\ProgramData\Python36\python.exe ..\llvm

You can add the following options if needed:

-DLLDB_TEST_DEBUG_TEST_CRASHES=1
-DLLDB_RELOCATABLE_PYTHON=1
-DLLDB_TEST_COMPILER=<path to compiler to be used for testing>

My next tasks are:

try: check-all, check_lldb configurations.

I will post my findings.

Hope this help.
