[cfe-dev] ../../../Makefile.common:60:../../../Makefile.config:don't have that file or directory

[Chris Bieneman via cfe-dev]

There is a quick summary of the recommended way to build LLVM using CMake here:

http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#getting-started-quickly-a-summary <http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#getting-started-quickly-a-summary>

The autoconf/makefile-based build system is not recommended for people new to the community as we are working on phasing it out.
