<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<div>
<p>LLVM sets certain default configure options to make sure our developers don't
break things for constrained platforms. These settings are not optimal for most
desktop systems, and we hope that packagers (e.g., Redhat, Debian, MacPorts,
etc.) will tweak them. This document lists settings we suggest you tweak.
</p>
<p>LLVM's API changes with each release, so users are likely to want, for
example, both LLVM-2.6 and LLVM-2.7 installed at the same time to support apps
developed against each.
</p>
</div>

<h2><a name="compilation">Compile Flags</a></h2>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<div>
<p>LLVM runs much more quickly when it's optimized and assertions are removed.
However, such a build is currently incompatible with users who build without
defining NDEBUG, and the lack of assertions makes it hard to debug problems in
user code. We recommend allowing users to install both optimized and debug
versions of LLVM in parallel. The following configure flags are relevant:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><tt>--disable-assertions</tt></dt><dd>Builds LLVM with <tt>NDEBUG</tt>
defined. Changes the LLVM ABI. Also available by setting
<tt>DISABLE_ASSERTIONS=0|1</tt> in <tt>make</tt>'s environment. This defaults
to enabled regardless of the optimization setting, but it slows things
down.</dd>
<dt><tt>--enable-debug-symbols</tt></dt><dd>Builds LLVM with <tt>-g</tt>.
Also available by setting <tt>DEBUG_SYMBOLS=0|1</tt> in <tt>make</tt>'s
environment. This defaults to disabled when optimizing, so you should turn it
back on to let users debug their programs.</dd>
<dt><tt>--enable-optimized</tt></dt><dd>(For svn checkouts) Builds LLVM with
<tt>-O2</tt> and, by default, turns off debug symbols. Also available by
setting <tt>ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=0|1</tt> in <tt>make</tt>'s environment. This
defaults to enabled when not in a checkout.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<h2><a name="cxx-features">C++ Features</a></h2>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<div>
<dl>
<dt>RTTI</dt><dd>LLVM disables RTTI by default. Add <tt>REQUIRES_RTTI=1</tt>
to your environment while running <tt>make</tt> to re-enable it. This will
allow users to build with RTTI enabled and still inherit from LLVM
classes.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<h2><a name="shared-library">Shared Library</a></h2>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<div>
<p>Configure with <tt>--enable-shared</tt> to build
<tt>libLLVM-<var>major</var>.<var>minor</var>.(so|dylib)</tt> and link the tools
against it. This saves lots of binary size at the cost of some startup time.
</p>
</div>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<h2><a name="deps">Dependencies</a></h2>
<!--=========================================================================-->
<div>
<dl>
<dt><tt>--enable-libffi</tt></dt><dd>Depend on <a
href="http://sources.redhat.com/libffi/">libffi</a> to allow the LLVM
interpreter to call external functions.</dd>
<dt><tt>--with-oprofile</tt></dt><dd>Depend on <a
href="http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/doc/devel/index.html">libopagent</a>
(>=version 0.9.4) to let the LLVM JIT tell oprofile about function addresses and
line numbers.</dd>
