[LLVMdev] Build/Install of LLVM without root access

[Bryan Ewbank]

I am using the source distribution, and the first puzzle is that it doesn't seem to match with the installation instructions from svn.  E.g., svn talks about llvm, cfe, compiler-rt, etc; however, the source is in many differently named *.tar.gz files:
clang-3.4.src.tar.gz              libcxx-3.4.src.tar.gz  polly-3.4.src.tar.gz
clang-tools-extra-3.4.src.tar.gz  lld-3.4.src.tar.gz     test-suite-3.4.src.tar.gz
compiler-rt-3.4.src.tar.gz        lldb-3.4.src.tar.gz
dragonegg-3.4.src.tar.gz          llvm-3.4.src.tar.gz

So, how do I shuffle/merge the content of the tar.gz files to produce the source tree that would result from the various svn actions described in http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html (etc)?

Hi Bryan,

Are you using source or binary distribution?

If source, try using configure with --prefix=/some/dir/you/have/write/access or the equivalent -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=...

If binary, just unzipping the file to a local dir would be enough, if you call the binary with full path. Otherwise, put the bin directory in your path, and it should just work.

cheers,

Hi Folks,
I am trying to figure out how to install LLVM as a user on a *NIX machine rather than as root.   Is there any reference to doing this successfully?  I keep running into problems with locations not writeable or obsolete versions of tools on which LLVM is dependent.

Thank you for any pointers or references,
