Is this the reason why manyclang (using llvms cmake based build system) can be provided easily, but it would be more difficult for gcc? Or is the object -> binary dependency automatically deduced?
We've tweaked the readme, I hope it's clearer.
It would be great to provide this for gcc too. The project is new and we've just started out. I know less about gcc's build system and how hard it will be to apply these techniques there. It seems as though it should be possible though and I'd love to see it happen.
To infer the object->executable dependencies we currently read the compilation database and produce a stand-alone link.sh shell script, which gets packaged into each manyclangs snapshot.
