+ Building the Ada front-end +
+ +
+

Building with support for Ada amounts to following the directions in the +top-level README.LLVM file, adding ",ada" to EXTRALANGS, for example: +EXTRALANGS=,ada

+ +

There are some complications however:

+ +
    +
  1. The only platform for which the Ada front-end is known to build is + 32 bit intel x86 running linux. It is unlikely to build for other + systems without some work.
    2. +
  2. The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++. + The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to + build it. The LLVM parts of llvm-gcc are written in C++ so a C++ + compiler is needed to build them. The rest of gcc is written in C. + Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all + three languages (the Ada part often comes as an add-on package to + the rest of gcc). Otherwise it is possible to combine two versions + of gcc, one that supports Ada and C (such as + GNAT GPL Edition) and another + which supports C++, see below.
    3. +
+ +

Supposing appropriate compilers are available, llvm-gcc with Ada support can + be built using the following recipe:

+ +
    +
  1. Download the LLVM source + and unpack it: + +
    +
    wget http://llvm.org/releases/2.2/llvm-2.2.tar.gz
+tar xzf llvm-2.2.tar.gz
+mv llvm-2.2 llvm
    +
    + + or check out the + latest version from subversion: + +
    +
    svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
    +
    +
    2. + +
  2. Download the + llvm-gcc-4.2 source + and unpack it: + +
    +
    wget http://llvm.org/releases/2.2/llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source.tar.gz
+tar xzf llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source.tar.gz
+mv llvm-gcc4.2-2.2.source llvm-gcc-4.2
    +
    + + or check out the + latest version from subversion: + +
    +
    svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm-gcc-4.2/trunk llvm-gcc-4.2
    +
    +
    3. + +
  3. Make a build directory llvm-objects for llvm and make it the + current directory: + +
    +
    mkdir llvm-objects
+cd llvm-objects
    +
    +
    4. + +
  4. Configure LLVM (here it is configured to install into /usr/local): + +
    +
    ../llvm/configure --prefix=/usr/local
    +
    + + If you have a multi-compiler setup and the C++ compiler is not the + default, then you can configure like this: + +
    +
    CXX=PATH_TO_C++_COMPILER ../llvm/configure --prefix=/usr/local
    +
    +
    5. + +
  5. Build LLVM: + +
    +
    make
    +
    +
    6. + +
  6. Install LLVM (optional): + +
    +
    make install
    +
    +
    7. + +
  7. Make a build directory llvm-gcc-4.2-objects for llvm-gcc and make it the + current directory: + +
    +
    +cd ..
+mkdir llvm-gcc-4.2-objects
+cd llvm-gcc-4.2-objects
    +
    +
    8. + +
  8. Configure llvm-gcc (here it is configured to install into /usr/local). + Additional languages can be appended to the --enable-languages switch, + for example --enable-languages=ada,c,c++. + +
    +
    ../llvm-gcc-4.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-languages=ada,c --enable-checking --enable-llvm=$PWD/../llvm-objects --disable-shared --disable-bootstrap --disable-multilib
    +
    + + If you have a multi-compiler setup, then you can configure like this: +
    + +
    +export CC=PATH_TO_C_AND_ADA_COMPILER
+export CXX=PATH_TO_C++_COMPILER
+../llvm-gcc-4.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-languages=ada,c --enable-checking --enable-llvm=$PWD/../llvm-objects --disable-shared --disable-bootstrap --disable-multilib
    +
    +
    9. + +
  9. Build and install the compiler: + +
    +
    make
+make install
    +
    +
    10. +
+ +
+ + +
+ Building the Fortran front-end +
+ +
+

+To build with support for Fortran, follow the directions in the top-level +README.LLVM file, adding ",fortran" to EXTRALANGS, for example:

+ +
+
+EXTRALANGS=,fortran
+
