27 <p>This document provides a list of the software packages that LLVM depends on
28 in order to be built successfully from CVS sources. The requirements for
29 building from a distribution are fewer. Items only needed for building from a
30 distribution are noted with an asterisk (*).</p>
31 <p>The table below shows the required software packages. Package is the usual
32 name for a given software package that LLVM depends on. Version is a list of
33 "known to work" versions of the package. Usage describes how LLVM uses the
36 <tr><th>Package</th><th>Version</th><th>Usage</th></tr>
37 <tr><td>autoconf*</td><td>2.59</td><td>Configuration script builder</td></tr>
38 <tr><td>bison</td><td>1.35</td><td>YACC compiler for various languages</td></tr>
39 <tr><td>cvs*</td><td>1.11</td><td>Obtaining latest CVS versions</td></tr>
40 <tr><td>deja-gnu</td><td>1.4.2</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
41 <tr><td>flex</td><td>2.5.4</td><td>LEX compiler for various languages</td></tr>
42 <tr><td>expect</td><td>5.38.0</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
43 <tr><td>perl</td><td>>5.6.0</td><td>Nightly tester, utilities</td></tr>
44 <tr><td>GCC</td><td>3.4.2</td><td>C/C++ compiler</td></tr>
45 <tr><td>GNU Make</td><td>3.79, 3.79.1</td><td>Makefile/build
47 <tr><td>libtool*</td><td>1.5.10</td><td>Shared library manager</td></tr>
48 <tr><td>qmtest</td><td>2.0.3</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
49 <tr><td>tcl</td><td>8.3</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
