CxxBuilder

This is an experimental repo for exploring how to upgrade Cxx.jl's building system to BinaryBuilder/BinaryProvider.

Usage

Pre-built binaries can be found in the release page: https://github.com/Gnimuc/CxxBuilder/releases

Build for Linux-x86_64

1. Download Julia-v1.1 binary: https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.1/julia-1.1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
2. Unzip downloaded tarball, create a directory called JuliaBinary and move unzipped contents into it
3. Download Julia-v1.1 source: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v1.1.0/julia-1.1.0.tar.gz
4. Unzip downloaded tarball, create a directory called JuliaSource and move unzipped contents into it
5. Download LLVM binary: https://github.com/staticfloat/LLVMBuilder/releases/download/v6.0.1-4%2Bnowasm/LLVM.v6.0.1.x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc7.tar.gz
6. Create a directory called LLVM and move downloaded tarball into it
7. Now, the file hierarchy should look like this:

CxxBuilder +
           | libcxxffi
           | patches
           | build_tarballs.jl
           | README.md
           + JuliaBinary +
                         | juliabin +
                                    | bin
                                    | etc
                                    | include
                                    | lib
                                    | ...
           + JuliaSource +
                         | julia +
                                 | base
                                 | contrib
                                 | deps
                                 | doc
                                 | etc
                                 | ...
           + LLVM +
                  | LLVM.v6.0.1.x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc7.tar.gz

8. Uncomment the line # BinaryProvider.Linux(:x86_64; libc=:glibc, compiler_abi=CompilerABI(:gcc7)), in build_tarballs.jl
9. Run julia --color=yes build_tarballs.jl --verbose
10. Find the binary in the products folder

Build for MacOS

1. Download Julia-v1.1 binary: https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/mac/x64/1.1/julia-1.1.0-mac64.dmg
2. Open the dmg image, right-click Julia-1.1.app, click Show Package Contents⁩, copy ⁨Contents⁩/⁨Resources/julia⁩ to a new directory called JuliaBinary
3. Download Julia-v1.1 source: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v1.1.0/julia-1.1.0.tar.gz
4. Unzip downloaded tarball, create a directory called JuliaSource and move unzipped contents into it
5. Download LLVM binary: https://github.com/staticfloat/LLVMBuilder/releases/download/v6.0.1-4%2Bnowasm/LLVM.v6.0.1.x86_64-apple-darwin14-gcc7.tar.gz
6. Create a directory called LLVM and move downloaded tarball into it
