Setup Guide (CMake) - SVF-tools/SVF GitHub Wiki
Build LLVM and Clang (if you have already done both, just skip it and jump to step 5 to build SVF. )
1. Download LLVM and Clang Pre-Built Binaries Ubuntu 18.04 (For other operating systems, please download corresponding llvm-clang binaries from LLVM download page)
Alternatively, you can also build LLVM and Clang from source code
2. Unzip the downloaded file
tar -xvf clang+llvm-10.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz
3. Add paths for LLVM and Clang
export LLVM_DIR=your_path_to_clang+llvm-10.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-18.04
export PATH=$LLVM_DIR/bin:$PATH
Build SVF
4. Download the SVF source code
git clone https://github.com/SVF-tools/SVF.git SVF
5. Build SVF using cmake (Refer to build.sh for details to build release or debug version of SVF)
cd SVF
./build.sh
Or build a debug version of SVF
./build.sh debug
6. Compile a single-file C program to a LLVM bitcode file or compile and link multiple C files using llvm-link. To compile a complicated real-world project you may wish to use WLLVM guide to install it.
