Question

I encountered the following error with "-fprofile-instr-generate". Rate your entries to resolve this error.

Thank,

Error:

Clang Version: Printable Version 3.5.0

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

LD version: GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.24.51.20140522) 1.11

LLVM configuration : configure --enable-profiling --enable-optimized --enable-shared --disable-debug-runtime --enable-target = all --prefix = / install --with-Binutils-include = / gold_linker / binutils / enable

Above the error says: use -v. The output of -v is as follows

, cmake llvm compiler-rt. configure llvm compiler-rt, .

#Step-1) Build your LLVM compiler as follows
cd /home/user
git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
cd llvm/tools
git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
cd ../../
mkdir build_folder
cd build_folder
cmake /home/user/llvm
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/llvm_install /home/user/llvm
make 
make install

#Step-2) Build compiler-rt as follows. Use llvm-config from your llvm installation from above step-1
git clone http://llvm.org/git/compiler-rt.git
mkdir comp_rt_build_dir
cd comp_rt_build_dir
cmake ../compiler-rt -DLLVM_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/llvm-config
make 
make install
