libvamc_llvm

Provides tools to emit LLVM-IR from a Vampa AST, using Inkwell.

Building locally

To build this locally, a copy of LLVM 10 needs to be present in the system, otherwise this error message will be shown by Inkwell:

error: No suitable version of LLVM was found system-wide or pointed
       to by LLVM_SYS_100_PREFIX.

       Consider using `llvmenv` to compile an appropriate copy of LLVM, and
       refer to the llvm-sys documentation for more information.

       llvm-sys: https://crates.io/crates/llvm-sys
       llvmenv: https://crates.io/crates/llvmenv

Building LLVM using llvmenv requires CMake:

# Ubuntu:
apt install cmake

# Arch Linux:
pacman -S cmake

To set up llvmenv:

cargo install llvmenv

# Examine the output of `llvmenv zsh` if you want:
llvmenv zsh

# Add these to .zshrc or equivalent:
export LLVMENV_RUST_BINDING=1
source <(llvmenv zsh)

# Initialize `.config/llvmenv`:
llvmenv init

To install LLVM 10, you can choose to use your system's installation if it uses version 10.0.0 (for example, using sudo apt install llvm), or compile your own using llvmenv, which may take long:

llvmenv build-entry 10.0.0

And then point llvmenv to the version you installed:

# If you're using the system installation:
llvmenv global system

# Otherwise:
llvmenv global 10.0.0

You may also choose to do this locally with llvmenv local <entry>. The generated .llvmenv file is in .gitignore.
