Trying to use remill (with cxx-commons precompiled vcpkg packages)

[hyvealtushka]

Hello, I just switched to Ubuntu (20.04) a couple of days ago and now I'm using the CLion IDE here. I'm trying to create a project using remill and LLVM, but I ran into a problem when creating the CMakeList. I have an example to get it started, but when I tried to recreate it, I realized that I can't link the libraries from the LLVM downloaded from cxx-common (v0.1.5, vcpkg_ubuntu-20.04_llvm-12_amd64.tar.xz). What should I do, maybe there are some repositories that show how to connect it all?

I've tried a lot of options, but here's my last one

This is my process:

Build and install

My directory layout, update as you see fit.

~/Code/remill
~/Code/anvill
~/Build/remill-release
~/Build/anvill-release
~/Build/vcpkg-12-release

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv ~/Build/install-release

Activate the virtual environment so that your PATH variables are up-to-date.

source ~/Build/install-release/bin/activate

Go into build directory for a release build of Remill.

cd ~/Build/remill-release

Compile Remill. Specifying clang is important if you're building on macOS. You're on Ubuntu so you can probably just ignore the manual specification of the C and CXX compilers for CMake. Be sure to change the VCPKG_ROOT and VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET for your own system!

cmake \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/pag/Build/install-release \
  -DVCPKG_ROOT=/Users/pag/Build/vcpkg-12-release \
  -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-osx-rel \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`which clang` \
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which clang++` \
  ~/Code/remill

Then you build and install that, and it installs into ~/Build/install-release.

Here's Anvill following the same process:

  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/pag/Build/install-release \
  -DVCPKG_ROOT=/Users/pag/Build/vcpkg-12-release \
  -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-osx-rel \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`which clang` \
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which clang++` \
  ~/Code/anvill

Build and install that. Then, if you have Binary Ninja, do roughly the following to install the Binary Ninja API into the virtual environment:

python3 /Applications/Binary\ Ninja.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/install_api.py -v

That -v switch says "install binary ninja into my virtual environment"

Now you have remill and anvill installed. Next up, using it.

Integrate into another project

Right now, all of our projects that integrate with our vcpkg dependencies go and use copies of vcpkg_helper.cmake. I think @ekilmer might want to change this in the future, but this works for now.

Here's what a typical CMakeLists.txt should look like that uses Remill:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.19)

include("cmake/options.cmake")
include("cmake/ccache.cmake")
include("cmake/vcpkg_helper.cmake")

project("project_name")

include(GNUInstallDirs)
include("cmake/system.cmake")
include("cmake/target_settings.cmake")
include("cmake/llvm.cmake")

if(ENABLE_INSTALL)
  include("cmake/packaging.cmake")
endif()

set(_VCPKG_SHARE_DIR "${VCPKG_ROOT}/installed/${VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR}")

find_package(XED CONFIG REQUIRED HINTS "${_VCPKG_SHARE_DIR}")
find_package(gflags CONFIG REQUIRED HINTS "${_VCPKG_SHARE_DIR}")
find_package(glog CONFIG REQUIRED HINTS "${_VCPKG_SHARE_DIR}")
find_package(Z3 4.8.12.0 EXACT CONFIG REQUIRED)
find_llvm(llvm "${_VCPKG_SHARE_DIR}")

find_package(remill CONFIG REQUIRED)
find_package(anvill CONFIG REQUIRED)

if(ENABLE_INSTALL)
  export(PACKAGE "${PROJECT_NAME}")
  
  set(cmake_install_dir "lib/cmake/${PROJECT_NAME}")
  
  include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers)
  configure_package_config_file("${PROJECT_NAME}Config.cmake.in"
      "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${PROJECT_NAME}Config.cmake"
      INSTALL_DESTINATION "${cmake_install_dir}"
  )

  install(EXPORT "${PROJECT_NAME}Targets"
      DESTINATION "${cmake_install_dir}"
      NAMESPACE "${PROJECT_NAME}::"
  )
  install(
    TARGETS
      "llvm"
    EXPORT
      "${PROJECT_NAME}Targets"
  )
endif()

add_subdirectory("blah")
