[LLVMdev] libc++.so in default binary distribution.
Hi to all, when I download the clang/llvm officila binaries, I found the libc++ headers under lib directory, but I didn't found libc++.so. Why you ship libc++ headers but no shared library? Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/attachments/20131212/36204500/attachment.html>
Hi, This also looks illogical to me. Build system based on autoconf does not support libc++ build, but does "installation" of system headers. libc++ is built by separate script. An alternative build system based on CMake does support libc++ build, but not on MacOS (where it's actually really needed starting from MacOS 10.9). On MacOS CMake is missing important switches for libc++, which are Mac specific (they are in "buildit" script under -apple- triple alternative), so the resulting library is not really usable. So, it's not only the problem of distribution, but also the problem of build system. Dmitry.
