Bug 133216 – [EFL] Add LLVM as optional jhbuild module for FTL developers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Tibor Mészáros]

LLVM is a hard dependency of FTL JIT. The easiest way to install it is adding it as an optional jhbuild module.
FTL JIT on EFL is in very experimental phase, so we shouldn't build it by default, but let the developers to build it easily with:
- Tools/Scripts/update-webkitefl-libs llvm
- WEBKIT_EXTRA_MODULES=llvm Tools/Scripts/update-webkitefl-libs

Note: LLVM configure script prefers Clang to GCC, which can be a problem if the user works on Ubuntu 13.10 with installed icecc
and without installed Clang. The problem is that the icecc package in Ubuntu 13.10 is buggy, because it creates /usr/lib/icecc/bin/clang
symlink without reference to installed Clang, which causes build fail.

Workarounds for this bug: remove useless clang symlinks or use 14.04.

Patch

This patch will add LLVM as optional jhbuild module for FTL developers

Sure 3.4 is enough? Building tip-of-tree JSC with that version fails.

The GTK port is adding[1] the Subversion repository of LLVM to its Jhbuild optional moduleset, and will be checking out r133219 of that code, the same revision that Apple is building its LLVM libraries from[2].

There are still a lot of crashes with that revision of LLVM, so there's fun to be had.

Yes, 3.4 is not enough nowadays, jsc required this commit http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=195173 that is not in 3.4.

hmm, I made jsc link to zlib and terminfo, aren't they really needed? In that case we should do the same in GTK, since it's indeed better and simpler.

As I know they aren't needed for FTL.
