The LLVM build system is designed to facilitate the building of third party
projects that use LLVM header files, libraries, and tools. In order to use
these facilities, a Makefile from a project must do the following things:

There are several environment variables that a Makefile needs to set to
use the LLVM build system:

In order to use the LLVM build system, you will want to organize your

project tree from <tt>llvm/projects/sample</tt> and modify it to meet
your needs, but you can certainly add to it if you want.
