Description Marvin FourtyTwo 2017-02-23 10:14:34 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build Identifier: 

Distros should package a single LLVM shared library. See http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html (search for BUILD_SHARED_LIBS): 

"BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is only recommended for use by LLVM developers. If you want to build LLVM as a shared library, you should use the LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB option."

Debian and Fedora already do so. Current mesa compilation also breaks due to this problem.


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Marvin FourtyTwo 2017-02-23 10:22:05 UTC 
Please also provide a static library!
Comment 2 Ismail Dönmez 2017-03-10 09:29:50 UTC 
The single shared library option is broken: http://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22952
Comment 3 Marvin FourtyTwo 2017-03-10 10:08:09 UTC 
openSUSE uses cmake to compile llvm, so bug 22952 does not apply.

Yes it does, specifically it breaks lldb-server.

ah, you are right - I should have read the whole bug. I wonder how "others" fixed this... So what's the solution? Would it help to link the tools statically?

Yes that would help but then llvm package size reaches gigabytes which is not really a good solution. I'll recheck what Debian is doing.
