Build the Compiler

The compiler is in alpha bootstrap status. Public build instructions will become canonical as the compiler migration lands in the public Ultraviolet project.

Current build outline

Section titled “Current build outline”
Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/blacklight-foundation/ultraviolet.git
cd ultraviolet


# Public alpha build command placeholder.
./scripts/build

Expected output

Section titled “Expected output”

The alpha build path should produce a compiler executable, smoke-test artifacts, and enough examples to verify the local toolchain.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
  • Confirm the selected LLVM toolchain version matches the repository notes.
  • Confirm the C/C++ compiler is available on PATH.
  • Re-run the build from a clean terminal session after changing toolchain environment variables.
  • Check public issues for active migration notes and known platform gaps.
