Description Adrien Dessemond 2023-04-12 12:35:53 UTC

The current behavior is to enforce CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='RelWithDebInfo' in all cases, no way to override this to build a 'Debug' version of sys-devel/lvvm to investigate crashes :(

Of course, the generated CMakeCache.txt files can be manually edited afterwards but it would be more convenient to not do that.

Does MYCMAKEARGS="-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug" work for you as an environment variable?

Comment 2 Adrien Dessemond 2023-04-12 14:29:04 UTC

Your suggestion is working :)

-- <<< Gentoo configuration >>>
Build type      Debug
Install path    /usr/lib/llvm/16


Let's close this bug, nothing more to do.
