This is only tangentially related to Zig, but I need to use llvm-objcopy (the real one, not zig objcopy) in build.zig.
As my build needs to run on windows, linux, and mac, and behave identically, I really don’t want to use my distribution’s llvm-objcopy.
What I’d rather do is write a bit of Zig code that fetches the specific version of llvm-objcopy from the internet, verifies its checksum, and stuffs it somewhere in .zig-cache for use by my custom steps.
But what’s the right place to download this binary from? It seems the official releases:
publish only the full suite, with its eye-watering ~GiB archive size.
Is there some kind of llvm-mirror where I can download just the objcopy?
Is there some zig project which warps build of llvm-objcopy into build.zig so that I can build it from source using zig cc?
