Louis Dionne 3ee0cec88e [runtimes] Remove FOO_TARGET_TRIPLE, FOO_SYSROOT and FOO_GCC_TOOLCHAIN
Instead, folks can use the equivalent variables provided by CMake
to set those. This removal aims to reduce complexity and potential
for confusion when setting the target triple for building the runtimes,
and make it correct when `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES` is used (right now
both `-arch` and `--target=` will end up being passed, which is downright
incorrect).

Getting Started
===============
On Mac OS, the easiest way to get this library is to link with -lSystem.
However if you want to build tip-of-trunk from here (getting the bleeding
edge), read on.
The basic steps needed to build libc++ are:
#. Checkout LLVM, libunwind, and related projects:
* ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
* ``git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git``
#. Configure and build libunwind:
CMake is the only supported configuration system.
Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libunwind.
* ``cd where you want to build llvm``
* ``mkdir build``
* ``cd build``
* ``cmake -G <generator> -DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES=libunwind [options] <llvm-monorepo>/runtimes``
For more information about configuring libunwind see :ref:`CMake Options`.
* ``make unwind`` --- will build libunwind.
* ``make check-unwind`` --- will run the test suite.
Shared and static libraries for libunwind should now be present in llvm/build/lib.
#. **Optional**: Install libunwind
If your system already provides an unwinder, it is important to be careful
not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to
select a safe place to install libunwind.
* ``make install-unwind`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers
It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. An out-of-tree
build would look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd where-you-want-libunwind-to-live
$ # Check out llvm, and libunwind
$ ``svn co https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
$ ``svn co https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind``
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ export CC=clang CXX=clang++
$ cmake -DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm \
path/to/libunwind
$ make
.. _CMake Options:
CMake Options
=============
Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a
brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the
CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are
Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio
the user sets the build type with the IDE settings.
**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH
Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the
"INSTALL" target is built.
**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING
The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libunwind.
.. _libunwind-specific options:
libunwind specific options
--------------------------
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Toggle assertions independent of the build mode.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_PEDANTIC:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Compile with -Wpedantic.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_WERROR:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Compile with -Werror
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_SHARED:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind as a shared library.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_STATIC:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind as a static archive.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_CROSS_UNWINDING:BOOL
**Default**: ``OFF``
Enable cross-platform unwinding support.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_ARM_WMMX:BOOL
**Default**: ``OFF``
Enable unwinding support for ARM WMMX registers.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_THREADS:BOOL
**Default**: ``ON``
Build libunwind with threading support.
.. option:: LIBUNWIND_INSTALL_LIBRARY_DIR:PATH
**Default**: ``lib${LIBUNWIND_LIBDIR_SUFFIX}``
Path where built libunwind libraries should be installed. If a relative path,
relative to ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``.
