Odin currently supports x86-64 and ARM64 at the moment (64-bit), relies on LLVM for code generation and an external linker.
In addition, the following platform-specific steps are necessary:
-
Windows
- Have Visual Studio installed (MSVC 2010 or later, for the linker)
- Open a valid command prompt:
- Basic: run the
x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2017shortcut bundled with VS 2017, or - Advanced: run
vcvarsall.bat x64from a blankcmdsession
- Basic: run the
-
MacOS
- Have LLVM explicitly installed (
brew install llvm) - Have XCode installed (version X.X or later, for linking)
- Make sure the LLVM binaries and the linker are added to your
$PATHenvironmental variable
- Have LLVM explicitly installed (
-
GNU/Linux
- Have Clang installed (version X.X or later, for linking)
- Make sure the LLVM binaries and the linker are added to your
$PATHenvironmental variable
Then build the compiler by calling build.bat (Windows) or make (Linux/MacOS). This will automatically run the demo program if successful.
Notes for *Nix Systems:: The compiler currently relies on the core and shared library collection being relative to the compiler executable, by default. Installing the compiler in the usual sense (to /usr/local/bin or similar) is therefore not as straight forward as you need to make sure the mentioned libraries are available. As a result, it is recommended to either simply explicitly invoke the compiler with /path/to/odin in your preferred build system, or set ODIN_ROOT=/path/to/odin_root.
