Hi, all
llvm-project version: 20.1.4
I'm running a monorepo CMake build using both LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS and LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES, and I'm seeing an issue where the compiler-rt runtime fails to build due to a missing llvm-link binary, even though llvm is explicitly listed in LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS.
Here is my CMake invocation:
```bash
cmake -G Ninja \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="${TOOLCHAIN_GCC_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/gcc" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="${TOOLCHAIN_GCC_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/g++" \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="llvm;clang;clang-tools-extra;lld;lldb;openmp" \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES="libcxx;libcxxabi;libunwind;compiler-rt" \
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="${LLVM_ARCH}" \
-DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS="default;${LLVM_RUNTIME_ARCH}" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${TOOLCHAIN_TRUNK_LLVM_INSTALL_DIR}" \
-DCLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER=lld \
-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO=0 \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=OFF \
-DLLVM_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DLIBOMPTARGET_BUILD_DEVICERTL_BCLIB=OFF \
-DCOMPILER_RT_ENABLE_INTERNAL_SYMBOLIZER=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
"${TOOLCHAIN_PUBLISH_WORKSPACE}/llvm" &&
ninja install
```
โ Problem
The build fails at this step:
```bash
+ for F in $CC $CXX $TBLGEN $LINK $OPT $AR
+ [[ ! -x /home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/bin/llvm-link ]]
+ echo '/home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/bin/llvm-link'
Missing /home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/bin/llvm-link
+ exit 1
FAILED: compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/symbolizer/RTSanitizerCommonSymbolizerInternal.x86_64.o /home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/runtimes/runtimes-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-bins/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/symbolizer/RTSanitizerCommonSymbolizerInternal.x86_64.o
cd /home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/runtimes/runtimes-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-bins/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/symbolizer/RTSanitizerCommonSymbolizerInternal.x86_64 && FLAGS= CLANG=/home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/./bin/clang /home/qinzetian/code/bytedance/sys/llvm-project/llvm-project/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/symbolizer/scripts/build_symbolizer.sh /home/*****/trunk_llvm_build/runtimes/runtimes-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-bins/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/symbolizer/RTSanitizerCommonSymbolizerInternal.x86_64.o
```
This occurs in build_symbolizer.sh which expects llvm-link, llvm-ar, opt, etc., to be present before runtime components (e.g., compiler-rt) are built.
Even though llvm is part of LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS, these tools apparently haven't been built yet when runtimes starts building.
๐ Question
Should the CMake system enforce that tools like llvm-link are available before attempting to build runtimes, especially compiler-rt?
Or is it the user's responsibility to manually build such tools before running ninja?
๐งช Notes
I can workaround this by manually running ninja llvm-link before full build.
A fully separated two-stage build (build tools โ build runtimes) also avoids the issue, but it would be nice to clarify whether this is expected behavior or a missing dependency declaration.
Thanks in advance for your help!
