Dont know if its for a good reason, but i figured i might ask


States in the last changelog that one should let you know on the forum or email, if there is any issue...
Well might be a stupid question, but here it goes...
Is there a good reason that lld is not added to the llvm/clang package?
Or is this simly a misstake?

There were bugs building llvm on ARM when it first introduced in Slackware and disabling clang and lld would have been a fix; I haven't touched it config since and you're the first person to mention it.
I enabled for aarch64 though, so I'll enable it for ARM and see if it works.

In the light of day, without the split focus of the 15.0 release activities and confused by ancient notes about llvm; the reason lld was disabled is because it is in 32bit x86. Anyway, if it works here I can't see a reason why not to include it in the 15.0 release if it builds.

Its ok, i was just curious as to why it never was enabled.
Know it was added and enabled to both x86 and 64bit Slackware last update of llvm.
So its why i was wondering to why it never got enabled on ARM.
Thanks for the explanation and know you guys have been really busy.
Keep up the great work.

Best regards:

It's not present in 32bit x86 - I checked with Pat this morning and he says it's disabled because it won't build.
I'll find out on arm 32bit myself in a few hours!

Oh, Sorry i stand corrected, I might have jumped to conclution then, know it was added to x64.
Thought it was added to 32 bit too, however i have never experienced any issues in ARM as i have heard of accruing on i*86 devices.
Still running Slackware 14.2 on a intel-atom unit, and have had some weiard issues when trying to compile PHP-7.3 and PHP-7.4 as it just would not build. (Supected at first, this was due to the fact the compiler was too old. But realised that it was CPU related, as it was possible to compile on x64)
For that reason i had to stick with PHP-7.2 on that unit

Thanks for the information.

Good news -lld builds:

http://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwa...arm-3_test.txz

Give it a go if you've got something specific that requires lld.
