Function build_repo

Source 
pub fn build_repo(
    target_sub_path: &str,
    repo_url: &str,
    repo_tag: &str,
    executable_name: &str,
    builder_args: &[&str],
    cuda_arg: &Option<&str>,
) -> Result<()>
Expand description

Clones and builds a repository at a specified tag with appropriate platform-specific optimizations.

This function handles the complete process of:

  • Checking if a repository needs updating or building
  • Cloning/updating the repository to the specified tag
  • Building the repository with provided configuration
  • Cleaning up on build failures

§Arguments

  • target_sub_path - Subdirectory within the workspace’s target directory where the repo will be cloned
  • repo_url - URL of the git repository to clone
  • repo_tag - Specific git tag to checkout
  • executable_name - Name of the executable that should be built
  • builder_args - Arguments to pass to the make command (e.g., [“llama-server”, “BUILD_TYPE=Release”])
  • cuda_arg - Optional CUDA-specific argument for the make command when building with CUDA support

§Returns

  • Result<()> - Ok(()) if build succeeds, Error if any step fails

§Errors

Returns error if:

  • Git operations fail (clone, checkout)
  • Build process fails
  • Executable is not found after build
  • Directory operations fail (create, remove)

§Example

use llm_devices::build_repo;

let result = build_repo(
    "llama.cpp",
    "https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp",
    "b3943",
    "llama-server",
    &["llama-server", "BUILD_TYPE=Release", "-j"],
    &Some("GGML_CUDA=1")
);
