Impossible to find build instructions (original) (raw)

Dear libcxx team,

I moved from llvm-13 to more recent LLVM version (tried multiple) but encountered multiple issues for building libcxx. More importantly, I spent way too long trying to find documentation online and only came across older docs.
Why is there no links from https://libcxx.llvm.org/ to any building instructions?

Also the link under LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES:STRING on Building LLVM with CMake — LLVM 20.0.0git documentation 404 (https://libcxx.llvm.org/BuildingLibcxx.html).

Best

The build instructions are under Vendor Documentation — libc++ documentation. I don’t think anybody realized that there was a link from the LLVM CMake page to the libc++ instructions. I’ll fix it.
