<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>NOTE:</b> This is currently a somewhat fragile, error-prone
|
|
process, and you should <b>only</b> try to do it if:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>you really, really, really can't use the binaries we distribute</li>
|
|
<li>you need GCC to fix some of the header files on your system</li>
|
|
<li>you are an elite GCC hacker.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>We welcome patches to help make this process simpler.</p>

|
<p>If you are building LLVM and the C front-end under Cygwin, please note that
|
|
the LLVM and GCC makefiles do not correctly handle spaces in paths. To deal
|
|
with this issue, make sure that your LLVM and GCC source and build trees are
|
|
located in a top-level directory (like <tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm</tt> and
|
|
<tt>/cygdrive/c/llvm-cfrontend</tt>), not in a directory that contains a space
|
|
(which includes your "home directory", because it lives under the "Documents
|
|
and Settings" directory). We welcome patches to fix this issue.

<p>If you are building LLVM and the C front-end under AIX, do NOT use GNU

Binutils. They are not stable under AIX and may produce incorrect and/or

<li><p>Configure and build the LLVM libraries and tools using:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% cd llvm
|
|
% ./configure --prefix=/some/path/you/can/install/to [options...]
|
|
% gmake tools-only
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>This will build all of the LLVM tools and libraries. The <tt>--prefix</tt>
|
|
option defaults to /usr/local (per configure standards) but unless you are a
|
|
system administrator, you probably won't be able to install LLVM there because
|
|
of permissions. Specify a path into which LLVM can be installed (e.g.
|
|
<tt>--prefix=/home/user/llvm</tt>).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Add the directory containing the tools to your PATH.</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% set path = ( `cd llvm/Debug/bin && pwd` $path )

</pre></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Unpack the C/C++ front-end source into cfrontend/src.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Make "build" and "install" directories as siblings of the "src" tree.</p>

<p><b>Solaris/SPARC:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For Solaris/SPARC, LLVM only supports the SPARC V9 architecture. 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. <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR206">Bug 206</a>).
|
|
</p>
|

|
<p><b>Common Problem:</b> You may get error messages regarding the fact
|
|
that LLVM does not support inline assembly. Here are two common
|
|
fixes:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p><b>Fix 1:</b> 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
|
|
<code>$CFEINSTALL/lib/gcc/<i>target-triplet</i>/3.4-llvm/include</code>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><b>Fix 2:</b> If you are building the C++ front-end on a CPU we
|
|
haven't tried yet, you will probably have to edit the appropriate
|
|
version of atomicity.h under
|
|
<code>src/libstdc++-v3/config/cpu/<i>name-of-cpu</i>/atomicity.h</code>
|
|
and apply a patch so that it does not use inline assembly.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Porting to a new architecture:</b> 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:<p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Often targets include special assembler or linker flags which
|
|
<tt>gccas</tt>/<tt>gccld</tt> does not understand. In general, these can
|
|
just be removed.</li>
|
|
<li>LLVM currently does not support any floating point values other than
|
|
32-bit and 64-bit IEEE floating point. The primary effect of this is
|
|
that you may have to map "long double" onto "double".</li>
|
|
<li>The profiling hooks in GCC do not apply at all to the LLVM front-end.
|
|
These may need to be disabled.</li>
|
|
<li>No inline assembly for position independent code. At the LLVM level,
|
|
everything is position independent.</li>
|
|
<li>We handle <tt>.init</tt> and <tt>.fini</tt> differently.</li>
|
|
<li>You may have to disable multilib support in your target. Using multilib
|
|
support causes the GCC compiler driver to add a lot of "<tt>-L</tt>"
|
|
options to the link line, which do not relate to LLVM and confuse
|
|
<tt>gccld</tt>. To disable multilibs, delete any
|
|
<tt>MULTILIB_OPTIONS</tt> lines from your target files.</li>
|
|
<li>Did we mention that we don't support inline assembly? You'll probably
|
|
have to add some fixinclude hacks to disable it in the system
|
|
headers.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Go back into the LLVM source tree proper. Rerun configure, using
|
|
the <code>--with-llvmgccdir=$CFEINSTALL</code> option to specify the path
|
|
to the newly built C front-end.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>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
|
|
<code>$CFEINSTALL/<i>target-triplet</i>/sys-include</code> to
|
|
<code>$CFEINSTALL/lib/gcc/<i>target-triplet</i>/3.4-llvm/include</code>.
|
|
(This should be the "include" directory in the same directory as the
|
|
libgcc.a library, which you can find by running
|
|
<code>$CFEINSTALL/bin/gcc --print-libgcc-file-name</code>.)</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Rebuild your CVS tree. This shouldn't cause the whole thing to be
|
|
rebuilt, but it should build the runtime libraries. After the tree is
|
|
built, install the runtime libraries into your C front-end build tree.
|
|
These are the commands you need.</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% gmake
|
|
% mkdir $CFEINSTALL/bytecode-libs
|
|
% gmake -C runtime install-bytecode
|
|
% setenv LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH $CFEINSTALL/bytecode-libs
|
|
</pre></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Optionally, build a symbol table for the newly installed runtime
|
|
libraries. Although this step is optional, you are encouraged to do this as the
|
|
symbol tables will make a significant difference in your link times. Use
|
|
the <tt>llvm-ranlib</tt> tool to do this, as follows:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% cd $CFEINSTALL/lib
|
|
% llvm-ranlib libiberty.a
|
|
% llvm-ranlib libstdc++.a
|
|
% llvm-ranlib libsupc++.a
|
|
% cd $CFEINSTALL/lib/<i>target-triplet</i>/3.4-llvm
|
|
% llvm-ranlib libgcc.a
|
|
% llvm-ranlib libgcov.a
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Test the newly-installed C frontend by one or more of the
|
|
following means:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> compiling and running a "hello, LLVM" program in C and C++.</li>
|
|
<li> running the tests under <tt>test/Programs</tt> using <code>gmake -C
|
|
test/Programs</code></li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
