these facilities, a Makefile from a project must do the following things:</p>

<li>You can write your own Makefiles which hard-code these values.</li>
<li> You can use the pre-made LLVM sample project. This sample project includes
Makefiles, a configure script that can be used to configure the location of
LLVM, and the ability to support multiple object directories from a single
source directory.</li>

provide enough information on how to write your own Makefiles.</p>
