Once you've verified that scpptool is working properly, you may then delete the clang+llvm-18.1.7 tar file that was downloaded manually or by this build script, and the directory extracted from it.

Note that scpptool uses a clang include directory located in the relative path '../lib/clang/18' created by this script. So copying or moving the scpptool executable may also require moving that include directory so that the relative path remains the same.


The usage syntax is as follows:

{scpptool src directory}/scpptool {source filename(s)} -- {compiler options}

where the {scpptool src directory} is $srcdir

So for example:

$srcdir/scpptool hello_world.cpp -- -I./msetl -std=c++17

"

cd $originaldir
