Hello,
I successfully built LLVM (v9.0.1), However, and in order to build flang, the configuration of flang-driver with:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/FLANG/flang-driver -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++
returns:
– The C compiler identification is GNU 7.4.0
– The CXX compiler identification is GNU 7.4.0

The error add_llvm_loadable_module seems to always occur even changing directories or other details. The logs do not clarify anything for me but I could post them if it’d help (they’re a bit long). Any suggestions on what is the orgin of the problem or how to fix it would be welcomed.
Thanks.
Hi - can I clarify what you are building? Are you building the driver project (i.e. the fork of clang) from this flang project: GitHub - flang-compiler/flang-driver: Flang's driver? If so, then you I encourage you to raise this as an issue on the github project there.
That flang project targets LLVM but is not part of the LLVM project itself. There is a new flang project here: GitHub - flang-compiler/f18: F18 is a front-end for Fortran intended to replace the existing front-end in the Flang compiler that will become part of LLVM very soon (current ETA is March 16th 2020)
To address your problem, I suspect you are building flang-driver from the wrong branch for the LLVM you just built. That cmake function add_llvm_loadable_module was removed from LLVM between versions 7 and 8 by this commit 2f44fbe. I suspect you have built LLVM from a newer branch than LLVM7 and are trying to build flang-driver from a branch earlier than LLVM8.
Hello @RichBarton-Arm,
I apologize for the very long delay in my answer. The guide for building flang instructed to build the drivers fork firstly. However, you have clarified a question that I didn’t actually ask: the release of F18. Given your estimation (understanding that it’s not an official date and there is always a possible last minute bug or delay), I’m waiting on F18 and will focus on that compiler.
Thank you so much.
