==================
Building libunwind
==================

.. _build instructions:
Getting Started
===============
On Mac OS, the easiest way to get this library is to link with -lSystem.
However if you want to build tip-of-trunk from here (getting the bleeding
edge), read on.
The basic steps needed to build libc++ are:
#. Checkout LLVM, libunwind, and related projects:
* ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
* ``git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git``
#. Configure and build libunwind:
CMake is the only supported configuration system.
Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libunwind.
* ``cd where you want to build llvm``
* ``mkdir build``
* ``cd build``
* ``cmake -G <generator> -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=libunwind [options] <path to llvm sources>``
For more information about configuring libunwind see :ref:`CMake Options`.
* ``make unwind`` --- will build libunwind.
* ``make check-unwind`` --- will run the test suite.
Shared and static libraries for libunwind should now be present in llvm/build/lib.
#. **Optional**: Install libunwind
If your system already provides an unwinder, it is important to be careful
not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to
select a safe place to install libunwind.
* ``make install-unwind`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers
It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. An out-of-tree
build would look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd where-you-want-libunwind-to-live
$ # Check out llvm, and libunwind
$ ``svn co https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
$ ``svn co https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind``
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ export CC=clang CXX=clang++
$ cmake -DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm \
path/to/libunwind
$ make
.. _CMake Options:
CMake Options
=============
Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a
brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the
CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are
Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio
the user sets the build type with the IDE settings.
**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH
Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the
"INSTALL" target is built.
**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING
The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libunwind.
.. _libunwind-specific options:
libunwind specific options
--------------------------
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_BUILD_32_BITS:BOOL
**Default**: Same as LLVM_BUILD_32_BITS
Toggle whether libunwind should be built with -m32.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Toggle assertions independent of the build mode.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_PEDANTIC:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Compile with -Wpedantic.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_WERROR:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Compile with -Werror
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_SHARED:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind as a shared library.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_STATIC:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind as a static archive.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_CROSS_UNWINDING:BOOL
**Default**: ``OFF``
Enable cross-platform unwinding support.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_ARM_WMMX:BOOL
**Default**: ``OFF``
Enable unwinding support for ARM WMMX registers.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_THREADS:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind with threading support.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_TARGET_TRIPLE:STRING
Target triple for cross compiling
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_GCC_TOOLCHAIN:PATH
GCC toolchain for cross compiling
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_SYSROOT
Sysroot for cross compiling
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_INSTALL_LIBRARY_DIR:PATH
**Default**: ``lib${LIBUNWIND_LIBDIR_SUFFIX}``
Path where built libunwind libraries should be installed. If a relative path,
relative to ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``.
