# Cross toolchain configuration for using clang-cl on non-Windows hosts to
# target MSVC.
#
# Usage:
# cmake -G Ninja
# -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/this/file
# -DHOST_ARCH=[aarch64|arm64|armv7|arm|i686|x86|x86_64|x64]
# -DLLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/llvm/installation
# -DLLVM_WINSYSROOT=/path/to/win/sysroot
# -DMSVC_VER=vc tools version folder name
# -DWINSDK_VER=windows sdk version folder name
#
# HOST_ARCH:
# The architecture to build for.
#
# LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN:
# *Absolute path* to a folder containing the toolchain which will be used to
# build. At a minimum, this folder should have a bin directory with a
# copy of clang-cl, clang, clang++, and lld-link, as well as a lib directory
# containing clang's system resource directory.
#
# MSVC_VER/WINSDK_VER:
# (Optional) if not specified, highest version number is used if any.
#
# LLVM_WINSYSROOT and MSVC_VER work together to define a folder layout that
# containing MSVC headers and system libraries. The layout of the folder
# matches that which is intalled by MSVC 2017 on Windows, and should look like
# this:
#
# ${LLVM_WINSYSROOT}/VC/Tools/MSVC/${MSVC_VER}/
# include
# vector
# stdint.h
# etc...
# lib
# x64
# libcmt.lib
# msvcrt.lib
# etc...
# x86
# libcmt.lib
# msvcrt.lib
# etc...
#
# For versions of MSVC < 2017, or where you have a hermetic toolchain in a
# custom format, you must use symlinks or restructure it to look like the above.
#
# LLVM_WINSYSROOT and WINSDK_VER work together to define a folder layout that
# matches that of the Windows SDK installation on a standard Windows machine.
# It should match the layout described below.
#
# Note that if you install Windows SDK to a windows machine and simply copy the
# files, it will already be in the correct layout.
#
# ${LLVM_WINSYSROOT}/Windows Kits/10/
# Include
# ${WINSDK_VER}
# shared
# ucrt
# um
# windows.h
# etc...
# Lib
# ${WINSDK_VER}
# ucrt
# x64
# x86
# ucrt.lib
# etc...
# um
# x64
# x86
# kernel32.lib
# etc
#
# IMPORTANT: In order for this to work, you will need a valid copy of the Windows
# SDK and C++ STL headers and libraries on your host. Additionally, since the
# Windows libraries and headers are not case-correct, this toolchain file sets
# up a VFS overlay for the SDK headers and case-correcting symlinks for the
# libraries when running on a case-sensitive filesystem.
include_guard(GLOBAL)
# When configuring CMake with a toolchain file against a top-level CMakeLists.txt,
# it will actually run CMake many times, once for each small test program used to
# determine what features a compiler supports. By default, none of these
# invocations share a CMakeCache.txt with the top-level invocation, meaning they
# won't see the value of any arguments the user passed via -D. Since these are
# necessary to properly configure MSVC in both the top-level configuration as well as
# all feature-test invocations, we include them in CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES,
# so that they get inherited by child invocations.
