Thank you for your note on this mode. I was trying to prototype a set
of packages with: sources of llvm and clang, build dirs of llvm and
clang and installations of llvm and clang.
Badly this approach doesn't work with pkgsrc, as this framework
contains various checks against using sources, headers, executables or
other files out of the build tree. Packaging sources and build tree
triggers errors with moving invalid files into ${DESTDIR}. Everything
is wolkaroundable, but I think it's not the correct way of handling it.
I've checked that libcxx, cfe and compiler-rt ship with mechanism to
build against preinstalled LLVM. I will try them out and I'm going to
prepare new pkgsrc packages using this approach. Then I will try to
research doing the same with LLDB, exporting needed libraries and
headers for the compiler withing llvm and lldb.
