[LLVMdev] Building libLLVMSupport library - special tricks?

[Lou Picciano]

Duncan,

Yes, I'd been pretty much performing the same diagnosis in parallel - it seems we just don't have that libLLVMSupport library built.

Last night, tried the build of clang a few different ways to get that library built - including specifying the --gcc-toolchain option. No Joy! 

Which of the clang/llvm source trees provides it? or is it in another source package? tools? Is there a Special Sauce which I must cook up?

llvm-config is supposed to say where the libraries are.  Take a look at the
output of
   usr/bin/llvm-config --ldflags

On my system it outputs
  -L/usr/local/lib   -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lz
and indeed libLLVMSupport is there
   $ ls /usr/local/lib/libLLVMSupport*
   /usr/local/lib/libLLVMSupport.a
