# WHAT ARCHITECTURE? CPROVER now needs a C++11 compliant compiler and works in the following environments: - Linux - MacOS X - Solaris 11 - FreeBSD 11 - Cygwin - Microsoft Visual Studio The rest of this document is split up into three parts: compilation on Linux, MacOS, Windows. Please read the section appropriate for your machine. # COMPILATION ON LINUX We assume that you have a Debian/Ubuntu or Red Hat-like distribution. 1. You need a C/C++ compiler, Flex and Bison, and GNU make. The GNU Make needs to be version 3.81 or higher. On Debian-like distributions, do as root: ``` apt-get install g++ gcc flex bison make git libwww-perl patch ``` On Red Hat/Fedora or derivates, do as root: ``` dnf install gcc gcc-c++ flex bison perl-libwww-perl patch ``` Note that you need g++ version 5.0 or newer. On Amazon Linux and similar distributions, do as root: ``` yum install gcc72-c++ flex bison perl-libwww-perl patch tar ``` To compile JBMC, you additionally need the JDK and Maven 3. You also need jq if you wish to run the entire test suite. On Debian-like distributions, do as root: ``` apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven jq ``` On Red Hat/Fedora or derivates, do as root: ``` dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel maven jq ``` 2. As a user, get the CBMC source via ``` git clone https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc cbmc-git cd cbmc-git ``` 3. To compile, do ``` make -C src minisat2-download make -C src ``` See doc/architectural/compilation-and-development.md for instructions on how to use a SAT solver other than MiniSat 2. 4. To compile JBMC, do ``` make -C jbmc/src setup-submodules make -C jbmc/src ``` # COMPILATION ON SOLARIS 11 We assume Solaris 11.4 or newer. To build JBMC, you'll need to install Maven 3 manually. 1. As root, get the necessary development tools: ``` pkg install gcc-c++-7 bison flex ``` 2. As a user, get the CBMC source via ``` git clone https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc cbmc-git cd cbmc-git ``` 3. To compile CBMC, type ``` gmake -C src minisat2-download DOWNLOADER=wget TAR=gtar gmake -C src ``` 4. To compile JBMC, type ``` gmake -C jbmc/src setup-submodules gmake -C jbmc/src ``` # COMPILATION ON FREEBSD 11 1. As root, get the necessary tools: ``` pkg install bash gmake git www/p5-libwww patch flex bison ``` To compile JBMC, additionally install ``` pkg install openjdk8 wget maven3 ``` 2. As a user, get the CBMC source via ``` git clone https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc cbmc-git cd cbmc-git ``` 3. To compile CBMC, do ``` gmake -C src minisat2-download gmake -C src ``` 4. To compile JBMC, do ``` gmake -C jbmc/src setup-submodules gmake -C jbmc/src ``` # COMPILATION ON MACOS X Follow these instructions: 1. You need a C/C++ compiler, Flex and Bison, and GNU make. To this end, first install the XCode from the App-store and then type ``` xcode-select --install ``` in a terminal window. 2. Then get the CBMC source via ``` git clone https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc cbmc-git cd cbmc-git ``` 3. To compile CBMC, do ``` make -C src minisat2-download make -C src ``` 4. To compile JBMC, you additionally need Maven 3, which has to be installed manually. Then do ``` make -C jbmc/src setup-submodules make -C jbmc/src ``` # COMPILATION ON WINDOWS There are two options: the Visual Studio compiler with version 14 (2015) or later, or the MinGW cross compiler with version 5.4 or later. We recommend Visual Studio. Follow these instructions: 1. First install Cygwin, then from the Cygwin setup facility install the following packages: `flex, bison, tar, gzip, git, make, wget, patch, libwww-perl`. 2. Get the CBMC source via ``` git clone https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc cbmc-git cd cbmc-git ``` 3. Depending on your choice of compiler: 1. To compile with Visual Studio, change the second line of `src/config.inc` to ``` BUILD_ENV = MSVC ``` Open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio, then start the Cygwin shell with ``` bash.exe -login ``` 2. To compile with MinGW, use Cygwin setup to install a mingw g++ compiler package, i.e. one of `mingw{32,64}-{x86_64,i686}-gcc-g++`. You may also have to adjust the section in `src/common` that defines `CC` and `CXX` for BUILD_ENV = Cygwin. Then start the Cygwin shell. 4. To compile CMBC, open the Cygwin shell and type ``` make -C src DOWNLOADER=wget minisat2-download make -C src ``` 5. To compile JBMC, you additionally need the JDK and Maven 3, which have to be installed manually. Then open the Cygwin shell and type ``` make -C jbmc/src setup-submodules make -C jbmc/src ``` (Optional) A Visual Studio project file can be generated with the script "generate_vcxproj" that is in the subdirectory "scripts". The project file is helpful for GUI-based tasks, e.g., the class viewer, debugging, etc., and can be used for building with MSBuild. Note that you still need to run flex/bison using "make generated_files" before opening the project. # WORKING WITH CMAKE There is also a build based on CMake instead of hand-written makefiles. It should work on a wider variety of systems than the standard makefile build, and can integrate better with IDEs and static-analysis tools. On Windows, the CMake build does not depend on Cygwin or MinGW, and doesn't require manual modification of build files. 1. Ensure you have all the build dependencies installed. Build dependencies are the same as for the makefile build, but with the addition of CMake version 3.2 or higher. The installed CMake version can be queried with `cmake --version`. To install cmake: - On Debian-like distributions, do ``` apt-get install cmake ``` - On Red Hat/Fedora or derivates, do ``` dnf install cmake ``` - On macOS, do ``` xcode-select --install ``` You shoud also install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh), after which you can run `brew install cmake` to install CMake. - On platforms where installing the Java Development Kit and Maven is difficult, you can avoid needing these dependencies by not building JBMC. Just pass `-DWITH_JBMC=OFF` to cmake in step (4) below. - On Windows, ensure you have Visual Studio 2015 or later installed. Then, download CMake from the [official download page](https://cmake.org/download). You'll also need `git` and `patch`, which are both provided by the [git for Windows](git-scm.com/download/win) package. Finally, Windows builds of flex and bison should be installed from [the sourceforge page](sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison). The easiest way to 'install' these executables is to unzip them and to drop the entire unzipped package into the CBMC source directory. - Use of CMake has not been tested on Solaris or FreeBSD. However, it should be possible to install CMake from the system package manager or the [official download page](https://cmake.org/download) on those systems. The dependencies (as listed in the relevant sections above) will also be required, and should be installed using the suggested methods. 2. Navigate to the *top level* folder of the project. This is different from the Makefile build, which requires you to navigate to the `src` directory first. 3. Update git submodules: ``` git submodule update --init ``` 4. Generate build files with CMake: ``` cmake -H. -Bbuild ``` This command tells CMake to use the configuration in the current directory, and to generate build files into the `build` directory. This is the point to specify custom build settings, such as compilers and build back-ends. You can use clang (for example) by adding the argument `-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++` to the command line. You can also tell CMake to generate IDE projects by supplying the `-G` flag. Run `cmake -G` for a comprehensive list of supported back-ends. Generally it is not necessary to manually specify individual compiler or linker flags, as CMake defines a number of "build modes" including Debug and Release modes. To build in a particular mode, add the flag `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` (or `Release`) to the initial invocation. If you *do* need to manually add flags, use `-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=...` and `-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=...`. This is useful for enabling clang's sanitizers. Finally, to enable building universal binaries on macOS, you can pass the flag `-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386;x86_64`. If you don't supply this flag, the build will just be for the architecture of your machine. 5. Run the build: ``` cmake --build build ``` This command tells CMake to invoke the correct tool to run the build in the `build` directory. You can also use the build back-end directly by invoking `make`, `ninja`, or opening the generated IDE project as appropriate. # WORKING WITH ECLIPSE To work with Eclipse, do the following: 1. Select File -> New -> Makefile Project with Existing Code 2. Type "cprover" as "Project Name" 3. Select the "src" subdirectory as "Existing Code Location" 4. Select a toolchain appropriate for your platform 5. Click "Finish" 6. Select Project -> Build All You can also select the repository's root folder as the "Existing Code Location". This has the advantage that you can build both CBMC and JBMC without the need to integrate JBMC as a separate project. Be aware that you need to change the build location (Select project in Eclipse -> Properties -> C/C++ Build) to one of the src directories. # OPTIONS AND VARIABLES ## Compiling with CUDD Cudd is a BDD library which can be used instead of the builtin miniBDD implementation. If compiling with make: 1. Download and compile Cudd: ``` make -C src cudd-download ``` 2. Uncomment the definition of `CUDD` in the file `src/config.inc`. 3. Compile with `make -C src` If compiling with cmake: 1. Add the `-DCMAKE_USE_CUDD=true` flag to the `cmake` configuration phase. For instance: ``` cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_USE_CUDD=true ``` 2. Run the build: ``` cmake --build build ``` ## Use BDDs for guards There are two implementation for symex guards. The default one uses the internal representation of expression. The other one uses BDDs and though experimental, it is expected to have better performance, in particular when used in conjunction with CUDD. To use the BDD implementation of guards, add the `BDD_GUARDS` compilation flag: * If compiling with make: ``` make -C src CXXFLAGS="-O2 -DBDD_GUARDS" ``` * If compiling with CMake: ``` cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-DBDD_GUARDS" ``` and then `cmake --build build`
