The "supported editors" link in https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/blob/master/doc/dev/index.md is broken, as `setup.md` no longer exists in the repo. This PR changes the link to point to the live Lean docs setup page at https://docs.lean-lang.org/lean4/doc/setup.html#editing. A similar fix for quickstart is included. --------- Co-authored-by: Sebastian Ullrich <sebasti@nullri.ch>

These are instructions to set up a working development environment for those who wish to make changes to Lean itself. It is part of the [Development Guide](../dev/index.md).
|
|
|
|
We strongly suggest that new users instead follow the [Installation Instructions](https://lean-lang.org/install/) to get started using Lean, since this sets up an environment that can automatically manage multiple Lean toolchain versions, which is necessary when working within the Lean ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- C++14 compatible compiler
|
|
- [CMake](http://www.cmake.org)
|
|
- [GMP (GNU multiprecision library)](http://gmplib.org/)
|
|
- [LibUV](https://libuv.org/)
|
|
|
|
Platform-Specific Setup
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- [Linux (Ubuntu)](ubuntu.md)
|
|
- [Windows (msys2)](msys2.md)
|
|
- [Windows (WSL)](wsl.md)
|
|
- [macOS (homebrew)](osx-10.9.md)
|
|
- Linux/macOS/WSL via [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/): Call `nix develop` in the project root. That's it.
|
|
|
|
Generic Build Instructions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Setting up a basic parallelized release build:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/leanprover/lean4
|
|
cd lean4
|
|
cmake --preset release
|
|
make -C build/release -j$(nproc || sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
|
|
```
|
|
You can replace `$(nproc || sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)` with the desired parallelism amount.
|
|
|
|
The above commands will compile the Lean library and binaries into the
|
|
`stage1` subfolder; see below for details.
|
|
|
|
You should not usually run `cmake --install` after a successful build.
|
|
See [Dev setup using elan](../dev/index.md#dev-setup-using-elan) on how to properly set up your editor to use the correct stage depending on the source directory.
|
|
|
|
Useful CMake Configuration Settings
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Pass these along with the `cmake --preset release` command.
|
|
There are also two alternative presets that combine some of these options you can use instead of `release`: `debug` and `sandebug` (sanitize + debug).
|
|
|
|
* `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=`\
|
|
Select the build type. Valid values are `RELEASE` (default), `DEBUG`,
|
|
`RELWITHDEBINFO`, and `MINSIZEREL`.
|
|
|
|
* `-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`\
|
|
`-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`\
|
|
Select the C/C++ compilers to use. Official Lean releases currently use Clang;
|
|
see also `.github/workflows/ci.yml` for the CI config.
|
|
|
|
Lean will automatically use [CCache](https://ccache.dev/) if available to avoid
|
|
redundant builds, especially after stage 0 has been updated.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
* Call `make` with an additional `VERBOSE=1` argument to print executed commands.
