[LLVMdev] install and add backend to llvm.

[Raghu Prabhakar]

Have you added the $LLVM_INSTALL_DIR/bin to your PATH environment variable?

Regarding changing a particular backend, check the documentation in 
http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html
http://llvm.org/docs/CodeGenerator.html

A few LLVMdev meetings have good talks to give you a good enough idea.

Cheers,

Subject: [LLVMdev] install and add backend to llvm.


Hi I am new to llvm and Linux (I am using ubuntu 10) 

My aim is to add backend to llvm. 

I install llvm using 

$ sudo apt-get install llvm 

and I am able to understand what I read about Writing an LLVM Compiler Backend. 

I have seen the assembly codes of the targets on llvm using llc. What I need now is to change some of the TableGen files of one of the target like SparcInstrInfo.td. So I uninstall llvm and I try to build it manually as specified in Getting Started with the LLVM System. http://llvm.org/releases/2.7/docs/GettingStarted.html. 

The building finish with out error (I didn\t include LLVM Test Suite ). 
I use default for all of the options!! 

But when I use all of tools for example 
$ lli hello.bc 

I get 

The program 'lli' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: 
sudo apt-get install llvm-2.7-runtime 

Any help please. 

I just need to see the effect of a changes in TableGen files, when i print the assembly code. 
like name of register, or name of Instruction. 

thanks
