Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that most of the work is complete for auto-detecting optional dependencies in LLDB. Unless explicitly specified, optional dependencies like editline will be enabled when available and disabled otherwise. This is different from the old behavior, where optional dependencies were that were enabled by default would cause an error at configuration time. The motivation is to make it easier to build LLDB by making things "just work" out of the box.
All optional dependencies are now controlled by an LLDB_ENABLE_* CMake flag. The default value for these variables is "Auto", which causes the dependency to be enabled based on whether it was found. It's still possible to obtain the old behavior by setting the corresponding CMake variable to "On" or "Off" respectively. If you have a configuration where you were depending on the old behavior where the dependency being enabled or disabled by default, you might want to consider passing LLDB_ENABLE_*=On/Off to CMake to ensure the dependency is required or ignored respectively. TL;DR Optional dependencies in LLDB are controlled by LLDB_ENABLE_* CMake flags and are auto-detected by default. You can return to the old behavior by setting the variables to "On" or "Off" respectively. _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
