Compilation Database alternative
the CXBUILD uses linux system call trace utility called strace which was customized. So If you want use the cxbuild, you have to build the custom strace(It prints whole path to recognize build commands, https://github.com/damho1104/strace.git)
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
make -j8
When after you build 'cstrace', please copy cstrace binary into '/usr/bin' or '/bin' directory(or add $PATH environement variable) to make the cxbuild freely invokes.
Sometimes python and python module requirements is annoying. the pyinstaller can generate everything in single binary. It is really helpful in many cases.
To do this, Required Python 3.x(we tested 3.6.9) and above version. when you ready to build the cxbuild binary, at the source root directory, type below:
python3 -mvenv python
source python/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller build.spec
chmod +x dist/cxbuild
cp dist/cxbuild /usr/local/bin
or Just use cxbuild with python interpreter like this:
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python cxbuild.py capture make -j 8
When you ready build your repository, you can use 'capture' command, to make compilation database
cxbuild capture [build command here]
If succeed, "[pwd]/.xdb/compile-commands.json" file will be generated(some intermediate file exist).
You can run post process only after build capture completed, It only required when debug something.
The 'captured' command assumes that there exists trace files(full_trace.log) in .xdb directory. and This command run only post process phase, It will generate compile_commands.json file from full_trace.log.
cxbuild captured
Assumes that 'cstrace' and 'cxbuild' exist in $PATH environment
/bin/cstrace
/bin/cxbuild
Prepare source build (in Ubuntu OS, apt source command will serve source files to build):
$ apt source gzip
$ls -al

-rw-r--r-- 1 minhyuk minhyuk 1074924 Aug 21 2013 gzip_1.6.orig.tar.gz
then prepare build tools
$ cd gzip-1.6
$ ./configure
actual build will with cxbuild just type like this:
$ cxbuild capture make -j 8
