[LLVMdev] Query regarding LLVM library for compilation

[John Criswell]

Dear Nitin,

The LLVM and Clang header files #include other LLVM and Clang header 
files.  Therefore, when compiling your code with gcc or clang, you need 
to add the -I option to tell the compiler where to find these header 
files.  The -I option can be used multiple times to specify multiple 
locations for which to look for header files.

For example, if a header file is located in /u/criswell/foo/bar.h, then 
adding -I/u/criswell to the gcc/clang command line will allow me to use 
#include <foo/bar.h> in my source code.

The reason why your code compiles when added to the LLVM/Clang source 
trees is that the LLVM Makefiles add the appropriate -I options for you.

Regards,

John Criswell
