aaron.ballman added a comment.

Looks pretty close, just some minor nits from me.



================
Comment at: clang/www/get_started.html:72-75
+    <li>This builds both LLVM and Clang for release mode. Alternatively if
+        you need a debug build, switch Release to Debug. See
+        <a href="ttps://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#frequently-used-cmake-variables">frequently used cmake variables</a>
+        for more options.
----------------



================
Comment at: clang/www/get_started.html:72
     <li><tt>cd build</tt></li>
+    <li>This builds both LLVM and Clang for debug mode and takes a lot of time and space. Alternatively -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" can be use to make a release build.</li>
     <li><tt>cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -G "Unix Makefiles" ../llvm</tt></li>
