Add a Cross-compilation toolchain file for MSVC.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With this patch, you can now cross-compile for Windows
on non-Windows hosts.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D39814

This allows cross-compiling for windows on other platforms.

# Cross toolchain configuration for using clang-cl on non-Windows hosts to
# target MSVC.
#
# Usage:
# cmake -G Ninja
# -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/this/file
# -DLLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/llvm/installation
# -DMSVC_BASE=/path/to/MSVC/system/libraries/and/includes
# -DWINSDK_BASE=/path/to/windows-sdk
# -DWINSDK_VER=windows sdk version folder name
#
# LLVM_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN:
# *Absolute path* to a folder containing the toolchain which will be used to
# build. At a minimum, this folder should have a bin directory with a
# copy of clang-cl, clang, clang++, and lld-link, as well as a lib directory
# containing clang's system resource directory.
#
# MSVC_BASE:
# *Absolute path* to the folder containing MSVC headers and system libraries.
# The layout of the folder matches that which is intalled by MSVC 2017 on
# Windows, and should look like this:
#
# ${MSVC_BASE}
# include
# vector
# stdint.h
# etc...
# lib
# x64
# libcmt.lib
# msvcrt.lib
# etc...
# x86
# libcmt.lib
# msvcrt.lib
# etc...
#
# For versions of MSVC < 2017, or where you have a hermetic toolchain in a
# custom format, you must use symlinks or restructure it to look like the above.
#
# WINSDK_BASE:
# Together with WINSDK_VER, determines the location of Windows SDK headers
# and libraries.
#
# WINSDK_VER:
# Together with WINSDK_BASE, determines the locations of Windows SDK headers
# and libraries.
#
# WINSDK_BASE and WINSDK_VER work together to define a folder layout that matches
# that of the Windows SDK installation on a standard Windows machine. It should
# match the layout described below.
#
# Note that if you install Windows SDK to a windows machine and simply copy the
# files, it will already be in the correct layout.
#
# ${WINSDK_BASE}
# Include
# ${WINSDK_VER}
# shared
# ucrt
# um
# windows.h
# etc...
# Lib
# ${WINSDK_VER}
# ucrt
# x64
# x86
# ucrt.lib
# etc...
# um
# x64
# x86
# kernel32.lib
# etc
#
# IMPORTANT: In order for this to work, you will need a valid copy of the Windows
# SDK and C++ STL headers and libraries on your host. Additionally, since the
# Windows libraries and headers are not case-correct, you will need to have these
# mounted in a case-insensitive mount. This requires one command to set up.
#
# ~/src: mkdir winsdk
# ~/src: mkdir winsdk.icase
# ~/src: ciopfs winsdk/ winsdk.icase
#
# Now copy or otherwise install your headers and libraries to the winsdk.icase folder
# and use *that* folder as the path when configuring CMake.
#
# TODO: We could also provide a CMake option -DUSE_ICASE_VFS_OVERLAY=ON/OFF that would
# make this optional. For now, we require ciopfs.


# When configuring CMake with a toolchain file against a top-level CMakeLists.txt,
# it will actually run CMake many times, once for each small test program used to
# determine what features a compiler supports. Unfortunately, none of these
# invocations share a CMakeCache.txt with the top-level invocation, meaning they
# won't see the value of any arguments the user passed via -D. Since these are
# necessary to properly configure MSVC in both the top-level configuration as well as
# all feature-test invocations, we set environment variables with the values so that
# these environments get inherited by child invocations.
