llvm dev - Apr 2016 - bug: cross-compile Clang/LLVM for ARM using Clang/LLVM

Hi renato,

1. The command above is followed by the guide[ HowToCrossCompileLLVM.rst ]
and I specify some path(ex. <path-to-host-bin>).

2. The including x86_64 libraries is added because of  some missing
libraries(ex. "error:  Host compiler appears to require libatomic, but
cannot find it"). As I have found that the bugs needed to dealt with is
some ARM-dependent libraries, I cannot download them on Ubuntu14, could you
share them or some available links?

Thanks very much!

Best,
Liyang

Hi Liyang,
> The including x86_64 libraries is added because of  some missing libraries
This will never work. The reason the libatomic check is failing is almost
certainly because a path to the C++ headers/libraries is missing. You've
manually added them all:

-I/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.7.3/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
-I/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/
-I/home/lab/workspace/llvm/llvm-source-code/lib4arm/
-I/home/lab/workspace/llvm/llvm-source-code/lib2ubuntu/
-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/libatomic.so
-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/libatomic.so
-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/libatomic.so
-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/libatomic.a

But a much more robust way to do this is just to use a sysroot:

-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS='-target armv7a-linux-gnueabihf -mcpu=cortex-a9
--sysroot=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/'

Cheers,

James

Hi James, renato,

So how do I download the missing ARM libraries on Ubuntu14.04? I cannot
find any available libraries.

Best,
Liyang
