- - -Written by Brian R. Gaeke
+This page has moved here.This document is intended to explain the process of building the -LLVM C/C++ front-end, based on GCC 3.4, from its source code. You -would have to do this, for example, if you are porting LLVM to a new -architecture or operating system.
- -NOTE: This is currently a somewhat fragile, error-prone -process, and you should only try to do it if:
- -We welcome patches to help make this process simpler.
--
Configure and build the LLVM libraries and tools using:
-- % cd llvm - % ./configure [options...] - % gmake tools-only --
The use of the non-default target "tools-only" means that the - LLVM tools and libraries will build, and the binaries will be - deposited in llvm/tools/Debug, but the runtime (bytecode) - libraries will not build.
Add the directory containing the tools to your PATH.
-- % set path = ( `cd llvm/tools/Debug && pwd` $path ) -
Unpack the C/C++ front-end source into cfrontend/src.
Edit src/configure. Change the first line (starting w/ #!) to - contain the correct full pathname of sh.
Make "build" and "install" directories as siblings of the "src" - tree.
-- % pwd - /usr/local/example/cfrontend/src - % cd .. - % mkdir build install - % set CFEINSTALL = `pwd`/install -
Configure, build, and install the C front-end:
- -
-Linux/x86:
-
-MacOS X/PowerPC:
-
- % cd build - % ../src/configure --prefix=$CFEINSTALL --disable-threads --disable-nls --disable-shared \ - --enable-languages=c,c++ - % gmake all-gcc - % setenv LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH `pwd`/gcc - % gmake all; gmake install -- -
-Solaris/SPARC: -
- --For Solaris/SPARC, LLVM only supports the SPARC V9. Therefore, the -configure command line should specify sparcv9, as shown below. Also, -note that Solaris has trouble with various wide (multibyte) character -functions from C as referenced from C++, so we typically configure with ---disable-c-mbchar (cf. Bug 206). -
- -- % cd build - % ../src/configure --prefix=$CFEINSTALL --disable-threads --disable-nls \ - --disable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ --host=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 \ - --disable-c-mbchar - % gmake all-gcc - % setenv LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH `pwd`/gcc - % gmake all; gmake install -- -
Common Problem: You may get error messages regarding the fact - that LLVM does not support inline assembly. Here are two common - fixes:
- -Fix 1: If you have system header files that include
- inline assembly, you may have to modify them to remove the inline
- assembly, and install the modified versions in
- $CFEINSTALL/target-triplet/sys-include
.
src/libstdc++-v3/config/cpu/name-of-cpu/atomicity.h
- and apply a patch so that it does not use inline assembly.Porting to a new architecture: If you are porting the new front-end - to a new architecture, or compiling in a different configuration that we have - previously, there are probably several changes you will have to make to the GCC - target to get it to work correctly. These include:
- -
Go back into the LLVM source tree proper. Edit Makefile.config
-to redefine LLVMGCCDIR
to the full pathname of the
-$CFEINSTALL
directory, which is the directory you just
-installed the C front-end into. (The ./configure script is likely to
-have set this to a directory which does not exist on your system.)
If you edited header files during the C/C++ front-end build as
-described in "Fix 1" above, you must now copy those header files from
-$CFEINSTALL/target-triplet/sys-include
to
-$CFEINSTALL/lib/gcc/target-triplet/3.4-llvm/include
.
-(This should be the "include" directory in the same directory as the
-libgcc.a library, which you can find by running
-$CFEINSTALL/bin/gcc --print-libgcc-file-name
.)
Build and install the runtime (bytecode) libraries by running:
-- % gmake -C runtime - % mkdir $CFEINSTALL/bytecode-libs - % gmake -C runtime install-bytecode - % setenv LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH $CFEINSTALL/bytecode-libs -
Test the newly-installed C frontend by one or more of the -following means:
-gmake -C
- test/Programs
