LLVM FileCheck (standalone)

An attempt to build LLVM FileCheck without pulling in the whole LLVM Project together with its utils.

FileCheck uses many components from the LLVM monorepo. Getting a build of FileCheck usually involves pulling and building parts of LLVM, which is not a trivial task to do.

This repository contains just the necessary parts to build FileCheck and its dependencies.

Building FileCheck

A C++14 compiler and CMake is required.

cmake -S . -B builddir -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build builddir

Updating from upstream

The script sync_from_upstream.sh copies the sources from the LLVM Project's root directory:

./sync_from_upstream.sh path/to/the/llvm/repo

The script just copies the sources and headers. Expect that an update will probably require manual fixes to the provided CMakeLists.txt files.
