Hi,

Same as #350
As far as I can tell the fix is available here #389
It's just waiting for CI to be sorted.

[PugDeveloper]

Ah I see, Thank you. Not sure if I'm manually installing this correct. Do I just follow the below step?:
Cause I did the below and its not working (minus the && sign)

` # globally install llnode
 && git clone --branch use-llvm-project-monorepo https://github.com/trxcllnt/llnode.git /usr/local/lib/llnode \
 && npm install --global --unsafe-perm --no-audit --no-fund /usr/local/lib/llnode \
 && which -a llnode`

[No9]

Yes that's the command
it's hard to see what's going on without the error message but note it runs in system folders so it should be ran as root

[PugDeveloper]

When I run the npm now I get this error:

This line looks very suspicious
npm ERR! fatal: cannot change to 'https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git': No such file or directory
Can you confirm that /usr/local/lib/llnode/lldb-10.0 has been generated and the code is checked out into it.
The output of the command ls -R /usr/local/lib/llnode/lldb-10.0 will confirm it

[PugDeveloper]

I see it seem like there isn't a 11db-10.0 folder within the llnode. Would you happen to know why? Kind of new to this so bit confusing.

Thanks for the help so far!

[No9]

It's likely not working due to permissions but I can't say for sure.
You might be able to work around this by checking it out and build it from your home directory
Just ran this on my local machine as a single command and it worked fine.

cd ~ && git clone --branch use-llvm-project-monorepo https://github.com/trxcllnt/llnode.git && cd llnode && npm install --global --unsafe-perm --no-audit --no-fund 

Heres a breakdown of what's going on.

1. It sets the current directory to be your home
   cd ~
2. Does a checkout of trxcllnt's PR branch into that folder
   git clone --branch use-llvm-project-monorepo https://github.com/trxcllnt/llnode.git
3. moves into the checkout folder
   cd llnode
4. Runs the build
   npm install --global --unsafe-perm --no-audit --no-fund
   If that doesn't work it may be better waiting for the PR to land

[PugDeveloper]

Ah I see, still doesn't work, Seem like would nee to wait for PR. Anyone knows when that will happen?

Installing the liblldb-dev package on ubuntu fixed this for me. This package contains the needed lldb header. No need for the git clone during the installation anymore ... Would the llnode not be simpler by just specifying this package as a needed prerequisite?

This did it for me, thanks

[No9]

OK we now have support for LLDB 8 to 14 and Node 14,16,18 so I'm closing this.
We are still getting the headers from github so please follow/comment on #382 if that is an issue.

[antontsvil]

Commenting this in case anybody ran into this issue like I did currently, but if you're seeing the sparse-checkout error then it may be due to your version of git. Check to make sure your git --version is 2.26 or higher.

If you're on Ubuntu like I am, you'll need to add the PPA for newer versions of git

Once I updated my git, this issue dissappeared 😃
