[LLVMdev] Problems with make

[pratik dand]

Dear David,

I am trying to do it with Cmake+Ninja. I was trying cmake -G ninja
../llvm/configure to configure.
But this didn't work as the path specified wasnt a directory.

My directory structure looks like this
llvm
 - configure
 - rest
build

I want to build llvm in my build directory. Can you please help?

Regards,
Pratik
