<dd><p>Meson includes upstream logic to wrap llvm-config using its standard
|
||||
dependency interface. It will search <code>$PATH</code> (or <code>%PATH%</code> on windows) for
|
||||
llvm-config (and llvm-config$version and llvm-config-$version), so using an
|
||||
LLVM from a non-standard path is as easy as
|
||||
<code>PATH=/path/with/llvm-config:$PATH meson build</code>.
|
||||
dependency interface.

As of meson 0.49.0 meson also has the concept of a
|
||||
<a href="https://mesonbuild.com/Native-environments.html">"native file"</a>,
|
||||
these files provide information about the native build environment (as opposed
|
||||
to a cross build environment). They are ini formatted and can override where to
|
||||
find llvm-config:
|
||||
|
||||
custom-llvm.ini
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
[binaries]
|
||||
llvm-config = '/usr/local/bin/llvm/llvm-config'
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure meson:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
meson builddir/ --native-file custom-llvm.ini
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</p></dd>
|
||||
|
||||
<dd><p>
|
||||
For selecting llvm-config for cross compiling a
|
||||
<a href="https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html#defining-the-environment">"cross file"</a>
|
||||
should be used. It uses the same format as the native file above:
|
||||
|
||||
cross-llvm.ini
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
[binaries]
|
||||
...
|
||||
llvm-config = '/usr/lib/llvm-config-32'
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure meson:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
meson builddir/ --cross-file cross-llvm.ini
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
See the <a href="#cross-compilation">Cross Compilation</a> section for more information.

|
||||
For older versions of meson <code>$PATH</code> (or <code>%PATH%</code> on
|
||||
windows) will be searched for llvm-config (and llvm-config$version and
|
||||
llvm-config-$version), you can override this environment variable to control
|
||||
the search: <code>PATH=/path/with/llvm-config:$PATH meson build</code>.
