If I take the command from the page and add my triple like so:
$ cmake -G Ninja -S llvm -B build \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang" \ # Configure
-DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES="libcxx;libcxxabi;libunwind;compiler-rt" \
-DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CMake Warning:
Ignoring extra path from command line:
" "
<...>
-- Build files have been written to: /home/david.spickett/llvm-project/build -bash: -DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES=libcxx;libcxxabi;libunwind;compiler-rt: command not found
As the comment is after the backslash, it's considered part of the next line. This comments out the ENABLE_RUNTIMES line and makes the RUNTIME_TARGETS line look like another command.
To fix this, put the comment before the configure command.
I also moved the other inline comments (which are fine) closer to the text since they don't have to line up with the configure one anymore.
