Hi, I've been working on a MacPorts port for lldb (MacPorts already provides ports for llvm and clang; cf. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45251). Using the Xcode project isn't really an option here, so I've based my approach on the instructions for building using CMake on *n*x.
In short: - unpack llvm sources - unpack lldb sources in the expected location in the llvm tree - call cmake from an out-of-tree build directory pointing it to the toplevel CMakeLists.txt (i.e. the one in llvm-src) - call make in the lldb subdir under the build directory (build/tools/lldb). The nice thing with CMake's Makefiles generator is that it is usually able to figure out what needs to be built from upstreams when make is called in a project subdirectory, and this works with lldb. Yet I've been asked to look into the possibility of building *just* lldb, using whatever dependencies it requires from the already installed llvm+clang directory. I'm presuming that there might be a benefit to that approach on other Unices too. Has anyone tried whether this is the case, assuming that it's actually possible? NB: MacPorts' port:lldb will depend on port:llvm and port:clang, so prebuilt dependencies will be available, as long as nothing is required that is omitted from a standard install.
