[LLVMdev] Build/Install of LLVM without root access

[John Leidel (jleidel)]

Bryan, you'll first need to decide which packages are relevant.  If you would like to build a simple LLVM install using the CLANG frontend, do the following: 

$> mkdir build
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
$> cd llvm/tools/
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
$> cd clang/tools/
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/clang-tools-extra/trunk extra
$> cd ../../../..
$> cd llvm/projects
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt
$> cd ../../
$> cd build
$> ./llvm/configure --prefix=/path/to/your/resting/place
$> make
$> make install


cheers

> 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
