21 ### Building and testing clangd
23 For a minimal setup on building clangd:
24 - Clone the LLVM repo to `$LLVM_ROOT`.
25 - Create a build directory, for example at `$LLVM_ROOT/build`.
26 - Inside the build directory run: `cmake $LLVM_ROOT/llvm/
27 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra"`.
29 - We suggest building in `Release` mode as building DEBUG binaries requires
30 considerably more resources. You can check
31 [Building LLVM with CMake documentation](https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html)
32 for more details about cmake flags.
33 - In addition to that using `Ninja` as a generator rather than default `make`
34 is preferred. To do that consider passing `-G Ninja` to cmake invocation.
35 - Finally, you can turn on assertions via `-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTS=On`.
37 - Afterwards you can build clangd with `cmake --build $LLVM_ROOT/build --target
38 clangd`, similarly run tests by changing target to `check-clangd`.
