Why does it claim to need Conda, when it appears to have CMake support?
README lists Conda as a requirement: https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/blob/0a79bf55d34a35d1d733e376c9c85301ae7b5b3f/README.md?plain=1#L28-L32 Why is that needed at all?
LPython doesn't need conda, only the dependencies. We only put Conda there to have a complete list of instructions to getting it up and running, but if you install the proper versions of dependencies some other way (say using apt-get in Debian), then it will work as well.
Do you want to submit a PR clarifying this?
@certik I can try building it, if that works, then yes.
Will it be useful by the way without LLVM? I see CMakeLists has it as optional, so provisionally it may, or otherwise a claim re working across all systems fail, since unlike GCC all LLVM stuff is not properly portable and is known to be broken on a number of platforms.
Yes, LPython works without LLVM, you can use all the other backends instead. For example at https://dev.lpython.org/ we use LPython WASM build without LLVM, and we use our WASM backend.
@certik I finally got back to this. There are two trivial fixes needed: https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/pull/2459 https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/pull/2461
And one issue to look at, if you could: https://github.com/lcompilers/lpython/issues/2460
