Building LLDB

The instructions to build LLDB don't seem to work.

I have built a full macOS toolchain and would now like to just build LLDB. The README in the lldb folder says I can build it using ./swift/utils/build-script -r --lldb but this returns an error

ninja: error: unknown target 'swift-benchmark-macosx-arm64'

Am I doing something wrong?

you can invoke build-scrip with -- --skip-build-benchmarks to work around this. Not sure why this happens though.

Thanks Adrian

I also had to run

./utils/build-script --release-debuginfo --sccache --libcxx -- --skip-build-benchmarks

to get it to build

adam-fowler:

--libcxx -- --skip-build-benchmarks

Can I interest you in creating a PR on the next branch that adds these two flags to the Readme?
