[LLVMdev] Can't Use cmake?

[John Criswell]

Dear Peter,

SAFECode never used CMake; it used the older Autoconf-based build 
system.  You need to compile LLVM per the Autoconf instructions 
(http://llvm.org/docs/BuildingLLVMWithAutotools.html) which should match 
the instructions for building LLVM in the SAFECode Install Guide (modulo 
the change in LLVM version).

Per a recent discussion we've been having on llvmdev, we'll eventually 
be moving over to CMake style builds, but for now, the Autoconf-style 
builds should still work.

Regards,

John Criswell

In step 8 in the section "Getting Started Quickly (A Summary)”, I realized that I wouldn’t be able to follow the steps exactly as described, because they tell me to create a new directory called “build” and then cd to it and try to use cmake.  How was this supposed to work, given that I’m doing this from a newly created empty directory?  Every time I try it, bash tells me that the command “cmake” wasn’t found.  What am I supposed to do here?
