Building and testing clangd
For a minimal setup on building clangd:
- Clone the LLVM repo to $LLVM_ROOT.
- Create a build directory, for example at $LLVM_ROOT/build.
- Inside the build directory run: cmake $LLVM_ROOT/llvm/
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra".
- We suggest building in Release mode as building DEBUG binaries requires considerably more resources. You can check Building LLVM with CMake documentation for more details about cmake flags.
- In addition to that using Ninja as a generator rather than default make is preferred. To do that consider passing -G Ninja to cmake invocation.
- Finally, you can turn on assertions via -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTS=On.
- Afterwards you can build clangd with cmake --build $LLVM_ROOT/build --target
clangd, similarly run tests by changing target to check-clangd.
