Compiling Steroids

Compiling Steroids requires clang++ v6.0, among other packages. Please also notice that:

  • Development for Steroids happens in the master branch. If you want a stable version of the library you should download and compile the sources of the latest available release.
  • Steroids has only been compiled and tested under Debian/Ubuntu, although it should probably work on other Linux distributions.
  • Steroids will only work on x86-64 machines.

Dependencies

  • coreutils
  • git
  • GNU make
  • Python 2
  • Clang 6.0
  • LLVM 6.0
  • libncurses
  • zlib

Optional:

  • Generating bitcode files for C programs consisting of multiple compilation units will require Whole Program LLVM.

Compilation

The following steps assume that you have a Debian/Ubuntu distribution:

  1. Install a suitable development environment:

    sudo apt-get install coreutils git make python2.7

  2. Install clang v6.0 and LLVM v6.0. DPU currently does not compile under g++, and you will need clang 6.0 to run the tool, anyway:

    sudo apt-get install llvm-6.0-dev clang-6.0

    If the above command fails, you might want to update your APT configuration (/etc/apt/sources.list) with the repositories listed in http://apt.llvm.org/ for your distribution.

    After a successful installation, the command llvm-config-6.0 should be in your PATH, and typing llvm-config-6.0 --prefix should print the installation path of LLVM 6.0.

  3. Install additional libraries:

    sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev

  4. Download and compile the sources of the latest release available.

  5. Compile:

    make dist

  6. Optional: run regression tests (note: currently we do not have any):

    make regression

Steroids is now installed in the dist/ folder. See doc/example for an example project that compiles and link against Steroids.
