Hi,
I'm new to LLVM and have been trying to build the shared library with
mixed success.
Using ./configure --enable-shared compiles cleanly but as soon as I
try to load the library--for example, in Ruby using FFI--I get the
following error:
dyld: loaded: /Users/<user>/llvm/2.8/lib/libLLVM-2.8.dylib
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not
found:__ZN4llvm2cl6Option11addArgumentEv
Referenced from: /Users/<user>/llvm/2.8/lib/libLLVM-2.8.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN4llvm2cl6Option11addArgumentEv
Referenced from: /Users/<user>/llvm/2.8/lib/libLLVM-2.8.dylib

Trace/BPT trap
So I applied the following change (after a conversation with a fellow
developer facing the same problems):
diff --git a/Makefile.rules b/Makefile.rules
index 9cff105..44d5b2d 100644
--- a/Makefile.rules
+++ b/Makefile.rules

+ SharedLinkOptions=-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup \
-dynamiclib
ifneq ($(ARCH),ARM)
SharedLinkOptions += -mmacosx-version-min=$(DARWIN_VERSION)
The options above use the default two-level namespace on OS X and
change name resolution to run time. The library now compiles cleanly
and loads properly.
Using those options doesn't seem to have any ill effect but I'm
wondering if there's a reason why the previous options were used,
especially since many dynamic libraries for Mac OS X are compiled with
the latter--the former actually seems to be a legacy from pre-10.3
days.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
R.
