ccbuilder

ccbuilder can build and install llvm and gcc.

---

Basic Usage:

ccbuilder build [compiler] [revision]

compiler must be either llvm or gcc and revision either a commit hash or a tag.

ccbuilder relies on clones the GCC and LLVM git repos and can build most of their recent revisions/commits/tags, e.g., ccbuilder build gcc releases/gcc-13.1.0 will build GCC 13.1.0.
The built compilers are installed under ccbuilder's compiler store (a filesystem directory). After building a compiler, its installation location is printed, e.g.:

% ccbuilder build llvm main 
/path/to/ccbuilder_compiler_store/clang-ff7d2fabe074d95cefb683d4a742eec172bd36d5
% /path/to/ccbuilder_compiler_store/clang-ff7d2fabe074d95cefb683d4a742eec172bd36d5/bin/clang -v
clang version 18.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git ff7d2fabe074d95cefb683d4a742eec172bd36d5)
...

ccbuilder stores everything under $HOME/.cache, the default locations can be overriden via command line flags, e.g., ccbuilder build llvm master --compiler-store-path /some/other/path

To update the compiler git repos use ccbuilder --pull.

For more options check ccbuilder -h.
