[CastXML] Building CastXML from Source

Wed May 20 18:30:30 EDT 2015

Hi Matt,
Some initial feedback from someone who has *just* picked up CastXML.

  *   A C++ compiler supporting the c++11 standard language level.

Any one in particular? Any suggestions? I’ve been messing around with my environment recently and guidance on this would be very much appreciated rather than me going on a wild goose chase to find something which I later find out to be the incorrect choice.

  *   CMake<http://www.cmake.org/> cross-platform build system generator.

I’ve got this installed. Will this work?
lmcgibbn at LMC-032857 /usr/local/jpl/snow/trunk/tmscag/trunk(master) $ cmake --version
cmake version 3.2.2
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

  *   LLVM/Clang<http://clang.llvm.org/> compiler SDK install tree built using the C++ compiler. This version of CastXML has been tested with LLVM/Clang
     *   Release 3.6.0
     *   SVN revision 234175

I’m nearly reaching my limit navigating the llvm/clang documentation and failing to complete the task at hand without any issues.
Can you point me to a trusted llvm/clang installation which will address the above?
I have the following clang setups locally

Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
Thread model: posix

clang+llvm-3.0-x86_64-apple-darwin11/
clang+llvm-3.2-x86_64-apple-darwin11/
clang+llvm-3.4-x86_64-apple-darwin10.9/
clang+llvm-3.4.2-x86_64-apple-darwin10.9/
clang+llvm-3.1-x86_64-apple-darwin11/
clang+llvm-3.3-x86_64-apple-darwin12/
clang+llvm-3.4.1-x86_64-apple-darwin10.9/
clang+llvm-3.5.0-macosx-apple-darwin/

I tried all of the above with xdress and got pretty much nowhere. This is why if you have a trusted installation from source guide for llvm/clang.

  *   Optionally, the Sphinx<http://sphinx-doc.org/> documentation generator to build documentation.

Which version? Any add ons? Any other tricks we need to know about?

  *   Run CMake on the CastXML source tree to generate a build tree using a C++ compiler compatible with that used to build the LLVM/Clang SDK.

Some precise documentation here would be ultimately helpful so I am going to provide a simple example usage statement with the mandatory options filled in as dummy options.

When I try to build as follows

lmcgibbn at LMC-032857 /usr/local/CastXML(master) $ cmake -DLLVM_DIR=/usr/local/clang+llvm-3.6.0-x86_64-apple-darwin/share/llvm/cmake -DCLANG_RESOURCE_DIR=/usr/local/clang+llvm-3.6.0-x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/clang/3.6.0/ .

See also "/usr/local/CastXML/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

See also "/usr/local/CastXML/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log”.

The above clang is directly from the link below

http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.6.0

Thanks again for your help, I realize that this is a long and painful thread.

Hi Lewis,

Build instructions are in the README:

  https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML/blob/master/README.rst

Please help us clarify them if they are insufficient. One possible hangup: when building Clang/LLVM, it is necessary to install it on the system or an install prefix directory.  Point the CastXML build to this location with LLVM_DIR.

Hope this helps,
Matt

Hi Folks,
I am making best efforts to use CastXML with xdress [0] via recent advice [1] and a pull request aimed at getting xdress working with castxml [2].
The problem that I am having is that I cannot even build CastXML from the github repos.
Can someone please help me out with clear build instructions?
Thank you
Lewis
