Need instructions on how to build just a specific version of solidity compiler

[tymat]

Need clear instructions on how to compile a specific version of solidity on OSX/Linux (version 0.1.7) The latest instructions for compiling webthree-umbrella is broken.

Did you follow this guide here: https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing-solidity.html#building-from-source

If building does not work, you can always use the emscripten platform:
https://github.com/chriseth/browser-solidity/tree/gh-pages/bin

[tymat]

Our contracts are in multiple .sol files and are deployed in a specific order. The build instructions you pasted are breaking (see error message above)

[chriseth]

If you use

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella.git
cd webthree-umbrella
./webthree-helpers/scripts/ethupdate.sh --no-push --simple-pull --project solidity # update Solidity repo
./webthree-helpers/scripts/ethbuild.sh --no-git --project solidity --all --cores 4 -DEVMJIT=0

as in the website given above, it should not even process the evmjit folder.

I even added some support to create xcode project for solidity on Mac OSX. IIRC, it's ./webthree-helpers/scripts/ethbuild.sh --no-git --xcode --project solidity --all --cores 4 -DEVMJIT=0

[VoR0220]

wait... @guanqun , does that put the compiler in Solidity to be worked on? Along with the build scripts? Having a debugger might be nice....even if it is Xcode.

[guanqun]

@VoR0220 I'm not sure about your "put the compiler in Solidity to be worked on?" Sorry.

That line I put there lets cmake generate a xcode project and therefore we can use xcode to compile and debug the solidity compiler. Without this, we have to manually use lldb which I'm not so used to yet. :)

[VoR0220]

Looking back on it that was very poorly phrased. My apologies. But yes. That works excellently! Now I just have to figure out how to work Xcode.
