[LLVMdev] Build/Install of LLVM without root access

[Bryan Ewbank]

I must not be asking clearly.  I have a machine on which I have placed the tarballs - but no internet access.

How do I use the *src.tar.gz files from the llvm 3.4 downloads page?  I understand the layout produced by the svn actions, but if I have just the tarballs, do I simply replace "svn co" with "tar -xvzf" in the sequence?  How do the names of the tarballs map to the names of the svn projects?

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
