Preparations
Install GCC and friends:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Install Ninja build system and CMake
sudo apt-get -y install ninja-build
sudo apt-get install cmake
LLVM
Get LLVM sources:
mkdir ~/cpp/
cd ~/cpp/
wget -qO llvm.tgz \
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/archive/refs/tags/llvmorg-17.0.4.tar.gz
tar -xzf llvm.tgz
rm llvm.tgz
mv llvm-project-llvmorg-17.0.4/ llvm-17.0.4-src
Prepare build files:
cd ~/cpp/llvm-17.0.4-src
mkdir build-rel
cmake -S llvm -B build-rel -G Ninja \
-DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=OFF -DLLVM_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DLLVM_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DLLVM_BUILD_UTILS=OFF \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel \
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86 \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/../llvm17.0.4-rel
Build LLVM (this will take ~~hour)
cmake --build build-rel
Install LLVM to out dir
cmake --build build-rel --target install
Now ~/cpp/llvm17.0.4-rel
contains the newly built release version of LLVM
SDL
Install dev versions SDL and SDL_image:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt install libjpeg-dev libwebp-dev libtiff5-dev libsdl2-image-dev
Some versions of libsdl2-image-dev
have no sdl2_image-config.cmake
file.
In this case it should be added manually:
Create /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/sdl2_image/sdl2_image-config.cmake
file with this content:
set(prefix "/usr")
set(exec_prefix "${prefix}")
set(libdir "${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")
set(SDL2_IMAGE_PREFIX "/usr")
set(SDL2_IMAGE_EXEC_PREFIX "/usr")
set(SDL2_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIRS "${prefix}/include/SDL2_image")
set(SDL2_IMAGE_LIBRARIES "-lSDL2_image")
Build Argentum compiler
Get sources
cd ~/cpp
git clone https://github.com/karol11/argentum.git
Build
cd ~/cpp/argentum
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DLLVM_DIR=../llvm17.0.4-rel/lib/cmake/llvm/
cmake --build build
Build and run examples
cd build
./agc --help
Compile helloWorld to asm file out.a
./agc -src ../demo -start helloWorld -S -o out.a
Build and run helloWorld
# compile
./agc -src ../demo -start helloWorld -o out.o
# link
gcc -no-pie out.o libag_runtime.a -o hw
# run
./hw
Build and run SDL demo application
# compile and link
./agc -src ../demo -start demo -o demo.o
gcc -no-pie demo.o libag_runtime.a \
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
-lSDL2 -lSDL2_image \
-o demo
# copy image resources
cp ../demo/*.jpg .
