The SPIRV-LLVM-Translator package contains a library and utility for converting between LLVM IR and SPIR-V code. This package currently only supports the OpenCL/Compute version of SPIR-V.

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install SPIRV-LLVM-Translator by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-D LLVM_EXTERNAL_SPIRV_HEADERS_SOURCE_DIR=/usr \
-G Ninja .. &&
ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON:
This parameter forces building shared versions of the libraries.
-D
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes
cmake remove
hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary
executable file or a shared library. This package does not need
rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may
sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.
-D
LLVM_EXTERNAL_SPIRV_HEADERS_SOURCE_DIR=/usr: This
parameter allows the build system to use the version of
SPIRV-Headers that should have been installed as a dependency of
SPIRV-Tools, instead of redownloading an unnecessary copy of the
headers.
