I am referring to https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html to build the LLVM from its source code. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

$ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../llvm
$ cmake --build .

Below are the errors:

anyone has some idea about it ?

    Try to build a specific release tag, not the master/main branch. Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 17:07
  • just curious to know how will it make difference. llvm.org/docs/… Checkout LLVM (including related subprojects like Clang): git clone github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git Or, on windows, git clone --config core.autocrlf=false github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 17:23

    It makes differences, because no one guarantees an unstable branch like master to be compiled successfully all the times, but release tags must. Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 17:31

    You might be running out of memory. Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 17:48

    "I am not running out of memory actually" - how did you figure that out? Try running with make -j1 - if it succeeds, you are running OOM. Commented Jan 8, 2021 at 22:26

As mentioned in comments you are most likely running out of memory: by default all executables are linked statically so lds use a lot of RAM. There are several ways to counteract this:

  1. Reduce link parallelism via -DLLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS=1 to avoid starting too many links in parallel (BTW for generic codebase one could use ld-limiter to achieve the same).

  2. Reduce consumed memory by using either or both of -Wl,-no-keep-memory and -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads linker flags (add them to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS).

  3. Switch to Gold (via -fuse-ld=gold) or lld (via -fuse-ld=lld) linkers (add switch to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS).

  4. In case you plan to frequently rebuild Clang (e.g. for debugging), you may use -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON to use shared, instead of static, links. You'll no longer have OOMs and also incremental Clang builds are sped up by 100x (at the cost of 2-3x slower Clang runtimes).

Now I use below command : "cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS=1 ../llvm" make --build . I do not see any error, but it seems it does not build everything, the build hardly take 10 mins to finish. below is the message on the terminal: [2994/2994] Linking CXX shared module unittests/Passes/TestPlugin.so Is there anything wrong. I am building LLVM first time from its source. SO I do not have idea whether its expected or not
@PraveerKumar "it seems it does not build everything" - is there any particular executable missing in bin/?
I can see that it has generated 83 files in the bin folder. Is there anyway to know the missing files.
I got the libs files which I was looking for. Thanks a lot
Tips for partial parallel build, first build with make -j options make -j$(nproc), then it compiles to objects files but fails at linking stage. Anyway, we build objects file in parallle. Next build with make without -j options for avoiding linking fail by out of memory, make then linking stage run in serial.
