[cfe-users] Instructions for Building Clang+LLVM from the distribution sources

[Fletcher, John P]

Andrew

Thank you for that.  I see that is another version of installation from the svn server.

What I was asking for is installation from the source distribution downloaded from LLVM for 3.2, 3.3 etc

I have done that myself but it is necessary to locate the source trees into the LLVM source tree.

The site you give is similar to the one on the Clang site itself which is also from the svn.

I think that much of the traffic on cfe-dev is among people who want to develop clang, which is very useful.

Hopefully there is a growing community of users, and until we reach the point where it is included in linux distributions people will need to install it.  There are some interactions with other software they may have e.g. versions of gcc and so they may not always be able to install the latest version.

Best wishes

John

Hi John,

I don't know what your target platform is, but on Fedora 17 64-bit I had very good luck with:

I already had all the prerequisites, and the installation went without a hitch by just following the instructions line-by-line.

HTH,

Andy

I have just been reading the Clang users manual for 3.4 which contains a lot of very useful information for users.

What I cannot find there are instructions for installation of Clang from the distribution sources.

I asked about this before (see below) but I am not aware of any answers.

Please add installation instructions to the manual.

Thank you

John

Thank you for creating the Clang users list.  I was one of the people who asked for it as I use Clang and am not a developer.

I have a number of queries which I have asked on the developer list and which never seem to have been answered.

I hope the level of traffic on this list will be such that I do get answers when I ask for them.

This one is timely in view of the fact that a new release is due out soon.

John

Please would someone supply the instructions for building clang+llvm from the distribution sources, rather than from svn as given on the web site.  At the moment the sources for llvm, clang and compiler-rt are supplied separately and last two have to be moved into the llvm structure and renamed to map the structure in the svn instructions.

I have managed to do that and get a useful build.  I am sure there are people other than myself who need something other than the distribution binaries and therefore need to build clang.

It would be useful to have the same think for libc++ as well.

Thanks

John
