%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ LLVM-&llvm-version; LLVM Introduction to LLVM The LLVM package contains a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. The Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) Core libraries provide a modern source and target-independent optimizer, along with code generation support for many popular CPUs (as well as some less common ones!). These libraries are built around a well specified code representation known as the LLVM intermediate representation ("LLVM IR"). The optional Clang and Compiler RT packages provide a new C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-ends and runtime libraries for the LLVM. &lfs74_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &llvm-md5sum; Download size: &llvm-size; Estimated disk space required: &llvm-buildsize; Estimated build time: &llvm-time; Optional Downloads Clang Download: Download MD5 sum: &clang-md5sum; Download size: &clang-size; Compiler RT Download: Download MD5 sum: &compiler-rt-md5sum; Download size: &compiler-rt-size; LLVM Dependencies Recommended and Optional , , , , OCaml, Sphinx and Valgrind User Notes: Installation of LLVM If you have downloaded the optional packages, install them into the source tree by running the following commands: tar -xf ../cfe-&llvm-version;.src.tar.gz -C tools && tar -xf ../compiler-rt-&llvm-version;.src.tar.gz -C projects && mv tools/cfe-&llvm-version;.src tools/clang && mv projects/compiler-rt-&llvm-version;.src projects/compiler-rt Install LLVM by running the following commands: sed -e 's:\$(PROJ_prefix)/docs/llvm:$(PROJ_prefix)/share/doc/llvm-&llvm-version;:' \ -i Makefile.config.in && CC=gcc CXX=g++ \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-libffi \ --enable-optimized \ --enable-shared \ --enable-targets=all \ --disable-assertions \ --disable-debug-runtime \ --disable-expensive-checks \ --enable-experimental-targets=R600 && make If you have installed Sphinx and wish to generate manual pages, issue the following command: make -C docs -f Makefile.sphinx man To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && for file in /usr/lib/lib{clang,LLVM,LTO,profile_rt}*.a do test -f $file && chmod -v 644 $file done If you had installed and you have built Clang, install the Clang Analyzer by running the following command as the root user: install -v -dm755 /usr/lib/clang-analyzer && for prog in scan-build scan-view do cp -rfv tools/clang/tools/$prog /usr/lib/clang-analyzer/ ln -sfv ../lib/clang-analyzer/$prog/$prog /usr/bin/ done && ln -sfv /usr/bin/clang /usr/lib/clang-analyzer/scan-build/ && mv -v /usr/lib/clang-analyzer/scan-build/scan-build.1 /usr/share/man/man1/ If you have built manual pages, install them by running the following command as the root user: install -v -m644 docs/_build/man/* /usr/share/man/man1/ Command Explanations sed -e ...: This sed fixes location of the installed documentation. --enable-libffi: This switch enables LLVM to use libffi. Remove if you did not install libffi. --enable-optimized: This switch enables compiler optimizations in order to speed up the code and reduce its size. --enable-shared: This switch enables building of the LLVM shared library which contains all of static libraries linked into single library. --enable-targets=all: This switch ensures that all LLVM targets are built. --disable-*: These switches disable features which are used for debugging and are not necessary on a production system. --enable-experimental-targets=R600: This switch enables R600 target which is required by Mesa to build the radeonsi 3D driver. It can be used for R600 LLVM backend and OpenCL state tracker in Mesa.
