# Cross toolchain configuration for using clang-cl on non-Windows hosts to # target MSVC. # # Usage: # cmake -G Ninja # -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/this/file # -DLLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/llvm/installation # -DMSVC_BASE=/path/to/MSVC/system/libraries/and/includes # -DWINSDK_BASE=/path/to/windows-sdk # -DWINSDK_VER=windows sdk version folder name # # LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN: # *Absolute path* to a folder containing the toolchain which will be used to # build. At a minimum, this folder should have a bin directory with a # copy of clang-cl, clang, clang++, and lld-link, as well as a lib directory # containing clang's system resource directory. # # MSVC_BASE: # *Absolute path* to the folder containing MSVC headers and system libraries. # The layout of the folder matches that which is intalled by MSVC 2017 on # Windows, and should look like this: # # ${MSVC_BASE} # include # vector # stdint.h # etc... # lib # x64 # libcmt.lib # msvcrt.lib # etc... # x86 # libcmt.lib # msvcrt.lib # etc... # # For versions of MSVC < 2017, or where you have a hermetic toolchain in a # custom format, you must use symlinks or restructure it to look like the above. # # WINSDK_BASE: # Together with WINSDK_VER, determines the location of Windows SDK headers # and libraries. # # WINSDK_VER: # Together with WINSDK_BASE, determines the locations of Windows SDK headers # and libraries. # # WINSDK_BASE and WINSDK_VER work together to define a folder layout that matches # that of the Windows SDK installation on a standard Windows machine. It should # match the layout described below. # # Note that if you install Windows SDK to a windows machine and simply copy the # files, it will already be in the correct layout. # # ${WINSDK_BASE} # Include # ${WINSDK_VER} # shared # ucrt # um # windows.h # etc... # Lib # ${WINSDK_VER} # ucrt # x64 # x86 # ucrt.lib # etc... # um # x64 # x86 # kernel32.lib # etc # # IMPORTANT: In order for this to work, you will need a valid copy of the Windows # SDK and C++ STL headers and libraries on your host. Additionally, since the # Windows libraries and headers are not case-correct, you will need to have these # mounted in a case-insensitive mount. This requires one command to set up. # # ~/src: mkdir winsdk # ~/src: mkdir winsdk.icase # ~/src: ciopfs winsdk/ winsdk.icase # # Now copy or otherwise install your headers and libraries to the winsdk.icase folder # and use *that* folder as the path when configuring CMake. # # TODO: We could also provide a CMake option -DUSE_ICASE_VFS_OVERLAY=ON/OFF that would # make this optional. For now, we require ciopfs. # When configuring CMake with a toolchain file against a top-level CMakeLists.txt, # it will actually run CMake many times, once for each small test program used to # determine what features a compiler supports. Unfortunately, none of these # invocations share a CMakeCache.txt with the top-level invocation, meaning they # won't see the value of any arguments the user passed via -D. Since these are # necessary to properly configure MSVC in both the top-level configuration as well as # all feature-test invocations, we set environment variables with the values so that # these environments get inherited by child invocations. function(init_user_prop prop) if(${prop}) set(ENV{_${prop}} "${${prop}}") else() set(${prop} "$ENV{_${prop}}" PARENT_SCOPE) endif() endfunction() # FIXME: We should support target architectures other than x64 set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows) set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 10.0) set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR AMD64) init_user_prop(LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN) init_user_prop(MSVC_BASE) init_user_prop(WINSDK_BASE) init_user_prop(WINSDK_VER) set(MSVC_INCLUDE "${MSVC_BASE}/include") set(MSVC_LIB "${MSVC_BASE}/lib") set(WINSDK_INCLUDE "${WINSDK_BASE}/Include/${WINSDK_VER}") set(WINSDK_LIB "${WINSDK_BASE}/Lib/${WINSDK_VER}") # Do some sanity checking to make sure we can find a native toolchain and # that the Windows SDK / MSVC STL directories look kosher. if(NOT EXISTS "${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}/bin/clang-cl" OR NOT EXISTS "${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}/bin/lld-link") message(SEND_ERROR "LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN folder '${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}' does not " "point to a valid directory containing bin/clang-cl and bin/lld-link " "binaries") endif() if(NOT EXISTS "${MSVC_BASE}" OR NOT EXISTS "${MSVC_INCLUDE}" OR NOT EXISTS "${MSVC_LIB}") message(SEND_ERROR "CMake variable MSVC_BASE must point to a folder containing MSVC " "system headers and libraries") endif() if(NOT EXISTS "${WINSDK_BASE}" OR NOT EXISTS "${WINSDK_INCLUDE}" OR NOT EXISTS "${WINSDK_LIB}") message(SEND_ERROR "CMake variable WINSDK_BASE and WINSDK_VER must resolve to a valid " "Windows SDK installation") endif() set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}/bin/clang-cl" CACHE FILEPATH "") set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}/bin/clang-cl" CACHE FILEPATH "") set(CMAKE_LINKER "${LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN}/bin/lld-link" CACHE FILEPATH "") # Even though we're cross-compiling, we need some native tools (e.g. llvm-tblgen), and those # native tools have to be built before we can start doing the cross-build.
