Hi Rene, building lldb on osx with cmake should work fine when you're doing it as a part of llvm (our buildbot is doing it <http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/lldb-x86_64-darwin-13.4>).
What you are asking for is called a "standalone" build of LLDB. I don't think anyone has tried it on a mac, but other people are using it, with varying levels of success. You should look at lldb/cmake/modules/LLDBStandalone.cmake for how to set it up. As far as I know, the main trick is pointing your build to the llvm-config binary installed by the llvm package (you should just check out the lldb repo, without llvm and clang sources). good luck, pl On 9 September 2016 at 09:55, René J.V.
