- On Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and later, the easiest way to get this library is to install
- Xcode 4.2 or later. However if you want to install tip-of-trunk from here
- (getting the bleeding edge), read on. However, be warned that Mac OS
- 10.7 will not boot without a valid copy of <code>libc++.1.dylib</code> in
- <code>/usr/lib</code>.
- </p>
-
- <p>To check out the code, use:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><code>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxx/trunk libcxx</code></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- Note that for an in-tree build, you should check out libcxx to
- llvm/projects.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The following instructions are for building libc++ on FreeBSD, Linux, or Mac
- using <a href="http://libcxxabi.llvm.org/">libc++abi</a> as the C++ ABI
- library. On Linux, it is also possible to use
- <a href="#libsupcxx">libsupc++</a> or <a href="#libcxxrt">libcxxrt</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>In-tree build:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>cd where-you-want-to-live</code></li>
- <li>Check out libcxx and <a href="http://libcxxabi.llvm.org/">libcxxabi</a>
- into llvm/projects</li>
- <li><code>cd where-you-want-to-build</code></li>
- <li><code>mkdir build &amp;&amp; cd build</code></li>
- <li><code>cmake path/to/llvm # Linux may require -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang

- </code></li>
- <li><code>make</code></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>To run the tests:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>make check-libcxx</code></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>If you wish to run a subset of the test suite:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>cd path/to/libcxx/libcxx</code></li>
- <li><code>alias lit='python path/to/llvm/utils/lit/lit.py'</code></li>
- <li><code>export
- LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG=path/to/build/dir/projects/libcxx/test/lit.site.cfg
- </code></li>
- <li><code>lit -sv test/re/ # or whichever subset of tests you're interested
- in</code></li>
- </ul>
- <p>The above is currently quite inconvenient. Sorry! We're working on it!</p>
-
- <p>More information on using LIT can be found
- <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html">here</a>. For more

- Shared libraries for libc++ should now be present in llvm/build/lib. Note
- that it is safest to use this from its current location rather than
- replacing your system's libc++ (if it has one, if not, go right ahead).
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Mac users, remember to be careful when replacing the system's libc++.
- <strong>Your system will not be able to boot without a functioning
- libc++.</strong>

- GCC ships libsupc++ separately but only as a static library. If a

- <strong>Note: This is not recommended in almost all cases.</strong><br>
- Generally these instructions should only be used when you can't install
- your ABI library.
- </p>
- <p>
- Normally you must link libc++ against a ABI shared library that the
- linker can find. If you want to build and test libc++ against an ABI
- library not in the linker's path you need to set
- <code>-DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/abi/lib</code> when
- configuring CMake.

- An example build using libc++abi would look like:
- <ul>
- <li><code>CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake
- -DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libc++abi
- -DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI_INCLUDE_PATHS="/path/to/libcxxabi/include"

- path/to/libcxx</code></li>
- <li><code>make</code></li>

- When testing libc++ LIT will automatically link against the proper ABI
- library.
