[LLVMdev] Problem building LLVM-GCC 4.0 Front End

[Mohd-Hanafiah Abdullah]

I've read and followed the README.LLVM file that comes with LLVM-GCC 4.0
Front End source, but got the following error when compiling:

configure: error: You must specify valid path to your LLVM tree with
--enable-llvm=DIR
make: *** [configure-gcc] Error 1

I've done the following in csh before hand:
$ setenv LLVMOBJDIR /home/napi/proj/c2jvm/llvm/llvm-gcc/obj

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks.
