"Build LLDB standalone for development with Xcode" describes it, see http://tiny.cc/i5ncaz#common-configurations-on-macos > I would rather just produce the Xcode project using cmake, very similar to > other instructions. This means changing the generator from Ninja to Xcode. I added a short note that //other generators like Xcode or Visual Studio may be used as well// (maybe we can avoid calling it "support", because in fact multi-config generators cause a lot of trouble). > My mac cmake line has: > > cmake -G Ninja -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;lldb" > -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS:BOOL=TRUE > -DLLDB_BUILD_FRAMEWORK:BOOL=TRUE -DLLDB_USE_SYSTEM_DEBUGSERVER=ON > /path/to/llvm-project/llvm `LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` and many other important flags are documented in LLVM (linked from http://tiny.cc/i5ncaz#building-lldb-with-cmake). `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` is the default `LLDB_BUILD_FRAMEWORK` and `LLDB_USE_SYSTEM_DEBUGSERVER` are explained in the `macOS` section, see http://tiny.cc/i5ncaz#id2. > Important bits are the projects being set to "clang;libcxx;lldb" (include > libcxx) and building the framework and using the system debugserver Added an explanation for the test suite libcxx dependency to the `macOS` section too. ================ Comment at: lldb/docs/resources/build.rst:94 +project, it generates the files needed by your build tool. The recommended +build tool for LLVM is Ninja. Please also read `Building LLVM with CMake +<http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html>`_. ---------------- amccarth wrote: > stella.stamenova wrote: > > sgraenitz wrote: > > > stella.stamenova wrote: > > > > Is Ninja the recommended build tool on Windows as well? > > > Well it's recommended for LLVM and I used it for LLDB on Windows in the > > > past. > > > Maybe @zturner knows more about it? > > LLDB does build with both Ninja and VS on Windows.

But Ninja seems to build much faster. I added a short note that //other generators like Xcode or Visual Studio may be used as well// (please see my answer to Greg).
