[NEW] Instructions for using dist tarballs:

Download libtransistor_v1.2.0-rc2.tar.gz and extract it. Set LIBTRANSISTOR_HOME to wherever you extracted it, like so:

$ cd
$ mkdir libtransistor_dist
$ cd libtransistor_dist
$ tar xf libtransistor_v1.2.0-test4.tar.gz
$ export LIBTRANSISTOR_HOME=$HOME/libtransistor_dist

Next, make sure you have all the packages listed below for your distro installed. You should be ready to build applications with libtransistor.

Distro-specific notes:

  • Ubuntu Xenial:
    • sudo apt install llvm-5.0 clang-5.0 lld-5.0 python3-pyelftools python3-pip
    • pip3 install lz4
    • You will need to run make as make LLVM_POSTFIX=-5.0
  • Ubuntu Bionic:
    • sudo apt install llvm clang lld python3-pyelftools python3-lz4 make
  • Arch Linux:
    • sudo pacman -S make llvm clang lld python3 python-pyelftools python-pip
    • pip3 install lz4 --user (alternatively, install python-lz4 from the AUR)
  • Mac OSX:
    • ??? to be determined

[NEW] Changes in building from source

The new build system builds libraries in build/ and installs them in dist/. After these latest changes and running git submodule update, if you had a version of libtransistor before the build system change, you may want to run make distclean to delete these old files, as they may break the build process.

All libraries and support files will be installed into dist/. LIBTRANSISTOR_HOME should point to this /path/to/libtransistor/dist directory, not the /path/to/libtransistor/ directory. The contents of this dist directory can be moved wherever you want them, and is what the release tarballs are based off of.
