[LLVMdev] Help with the 'WritingAnLLVMPass' tutorial

[Akhi Singhania]

Hi John,

Thanks for the hints!

After some grep and nm magic, it seems like I had to do the following:

- Run configure in the root directory
- Run make in ./lib/Support
- Add 'USEDLIBS = LLVMSupport.a' in the Hello Makefile

Now, I see:
$ opt -load ../../../Debug+Asserts/lib/LLVMHello.so -hello < hello.bc >
/dev/null
Hello: main

Another workaround was to turn off thread support by
setting LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS to 0 in llvm-config.h.  Not sure what the
implications of this are though.

I detail the changes needed above so that the llvm maintainers can consider
updating the tutorial.

As another side, the tutorial suggests that the output of opt command above
will be following:
$ opt -load ../../../Debug+Asserts/lib/Hello.so -hello < hello.bc >
/dev/null
Hello: __main
Hello: puts
Hello: main

But hello.bc defines just one function: main so I see a different output.
 Another update that can be considered for the tutorial.

Thanks,
Akhi
