Hi, ClangBSD is a branch of FreeBSD that aims at integrating clang (clang.llvm.org) into FreeBSD, replacing GCC as a system compiler.
Recently, we've achieved the state when clang can compile all of FreeBSD world on i386/amd64 platforms (including all the C++ apps we have and itself) and a bootable kernel. Thus we feel that the time has come to ask the FreeBSD community for wider testing on i386/amd64 (you sure can help with other platforms too :)). How to setup ClangBSD: The default configuration of ClangBSD requires clang installed so you can either install fresh llvm-devel port (portinstall devel/llvm-devel) or change CC to "gcc" and CXX to "g++" in share/mk/sys.mk. I recommend the former. svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/clangbsd/ clangbsd cd clangbsd && make buildworld echo NO_WERROR= >> /etc/make.conf echo WERROR= >> /etc/make.conf make DESTDIR=/clangbsd-chroot/ installworld now you have ClangBSD world installed and you can chroot into it. I don't recommend installing ClangBSD into real root as it is not tested enough. You can also start using clang compiled kernel - either build the kernel in the ClangBSD chroot (set NO_WERROR=yo and WERROR=yo in /etc/src.conf) or set CC to clang and build kernel the normal way. This information (and more) is also provided on: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang We kindly ask you to setup ClangBSD chroot and/or use clang compiled kernel and use it as you would normally use FreeBSD. Please report back Thank you, Roman Divacky on behalf of the ClangBSD team
