工程配置

package("glfw")
    add_deps("cmake")
    set_sourcedir("glfw-3.4")
    on_install(function (package)
        local configs = {}
        import("package.tools.cmake")
        cmake.install(package, configs)
    end)
package_end()
add_requires("glfw")

target("glad")
    set_kind("static")
    add_files("glad/src/*.c")
    add_headerfiles("glad/include/glad/*.h")
    add_headerfiles("glad/include/KHR/*.h")
    add_includedirs("glad/include",{public=true})

target("hi")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_deps("glad")
    add_packages("glfw")
    if is_plat("windows") then
        add_syslinks("opengl32", "gdi32", "user32", "shell32")
    elseif is_plat("linux") then
        add_syslinks("GL", "m", "dl", "X11", "pthread")
    end

xmake config --toolchain=llvm --plat=linux --arch=x86_64 --sdk=C:\devtools\llvm\

This fails, so do this

xmake config --toolchain=llvm --plat=cross --cross=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

and this

xmake config --toolchain=llvm --plat=cross `
--cross=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu `
--sdk=C:/devtools/llvm `
--cxflags=C:/devtools/sysroots/deb `
--ldflags=C:/devtools/sysroots/deb

and this

xmake config --toolchain=llvm --plat=linux --arch=x86_64 --sdk=C:\devtools\llvm\ --runtimes=stdc++_shared

附加信息和错误日志

I could write a lot, but the main thing is standard library cannot be found anad pacakge install fails due to not finding os specifics stuff like pthread

you can add -vD to see verbose logs and debug it.

elseif toolchain:is_plat("cross") then

or try and wait this patch. #6380

[mccakit]

Is there anything I can do to help resolve this issue more quickly? I'd like to move on to new challenges and experiments, but I feel stuck.

[waruqi]

I have improved it. #6471

xmake f -p cross --cross=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --toolchain=llvm --sdk=C:\xxx\llvm -cvD

but std header has been not supported yet

[mccakit]

This example still doesn't compile hi.zip

with this

xmake f -p cross --cross=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --toolchain=llvm --sdk=C:\dev\sysroots\deb2 -cvD

output.txt

I'm on the dev branch as can be seen here

xmake --version
xmake v3.0.0+dev.bfc0f75db, A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

Also custom toolchains don't work for cmake packages,

hi2.zip

I can cross compile with custom toolchain without third party packages

I assume these:

• When cross compiling llvm doesn't use lld and -fuse-ld=lld, which are necessary when compiling by hand
• CMake package install doesn't work with cross compilation. It doesn't use the cross compiler toolchain, it defaults to msvc

What probably needs to be done:

• Llvm toolchain linker should be changed to lld and -fuse-ld=lld should be default.
• SDK directory should be passed into cmake package as sysroot
• We should be able to specify toolchains in packages, so that cmake would use clang

[mccakit]

I have improved it. #6471

xmake f -p cross --cross=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --toolchain=llvm --sdk=C:\xxx\llvm -cvD

but std header has been not supported yet

But llvm toolchain with sdk works now in native compilation, so big thanks. Previously I had to use clang without providing sdk path in the past
