-<h1>Getting Started: Building and Running Clang</h1>
-
-<p>This page gives you the shortest path to checking out Clang and demos a few
-options. This should get you up and running with the minimum of muss and fuss.
-If you like what you see, please consider <a href="get_involved.html">getting
-involved</a> with the Clang community. If you run into problems, please file
-bugs in <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">LLVM Bugzilla</a> or bring up the issue
-on the
-<a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev">Clang development
-mailing list</a>.</p>
-
-<h2 id="build">Building Clang and Working with the Code</h2>
-
-<h3 id="buildNix">On Unix-like Systems</h3>
-
-<p>If you would like to check out and build Clang, the current procedure is as
-follows:</p>
-
-<ol>
- <li>Get the required tools.
- <ul>
- <li>See
- <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#requirements">
- Getting Started with the LLVM System - Requirements</a>.</li>
- <li>Note also that Python is needed for running the test suite.
- Get it at: <a href="http://www.python.org/download">
- http://www.python.org/download</a></li>
- </ul>
-
- <li>Checkout LLVM:</li>
- <ul>
- <li>Change directory to where you want the llvm directory placed.</li>
- <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm</tt></li>
- </ul>
- <li>Checkout Clang:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>cd llvm/tools</tt>
- <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang</tt></li>
- </ul>
- <li>Build LLVM and Clang:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>cd ..</tt> (back to llvm)</li>
- <li><tt>./configure</tt></li>
- <li><tt>make</tt></li>
- <li>This builds both LLVM and Clang for debug mode.</li>
- <li>Note: For subsequent Clang development, you can just do make at the
- clang directory level.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>It is also possible to use CMake instead of the makefiles. With CMake it
- is also possible to generate project files for several IDEs: Eclipse CDT4,
- CodeBlocks, Qt-Creator (use the CodeBlocks generator), KDevelop3.</p>
-
- <li>If you intend to work on Clang C++ support, you may need to tell it how
- to find your C++ standard library headers. If Clang cannot find your
- system libstdc++ headers, please follow these instructions:</li>
- <ul>
- <li>'<tt>gcc -v -x c++ /dev/null -fsyntax-only</tt>' to get the
- path.</li>
- <li>Look for the comment "FIXME: temporary hack:
- hard-coded paths" in <tt>clang/lib/Frontend/InitHeaderSearch.cpp</tt> and
- change the lines below to include that path.</li>
- </ul>
- <li>Try it out (assuming you add llvm/Debug/bin to your path):</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>clang --help</tt></li>
- <li><tt>clang file.c -fsyntax-only</tt> (check for correctness)</li>
- <li><tt>clang file.c -S -emit-llvm -o -</tt> (print out unoptimized llvm code)</li>
- <li><tt>clang file.c -S -emit-llvm -o - -O3</tt></li>
- <li><tt>clang file.c -S -O3 -o -</tt> (output native machine code)</li>
- </ul>
-</ol>
-
-<p>Note that the C front-end uses LLVM, but does not depend on llvm-gcc. If you
-encounter problems with building Clang, make sure you have the latest SVN
-version of LLVM. LLVM contains support libraries for Clang that will be updated
-as well as development on Clang progresses.</p>
-
-<h3>Simultaneously Building Clang and LLVM:</h3>
-
-<p>Once you have checked out Clang into the llvm source tree it will build along
-with the rest of <tt>llvm</tt>. To build all of LLVM and Clang together all at
-once simply run <tt>make</tt> from the root LLVM directory.</p>
-
-<p><em>Note:</em> Observe that Clang is technically part of a separate
-Subversion repository. As mentioned above, the latest Clang sources are tied to
-the latest sources in the LLVM tree. You can update your toplevel LLVM project
-and all (possibly unrelated) projects inside it with <tt><b>make
-update</b></tt>. This will run <tt>svn update</tt> on all subdirectories related
-to subversion. </p>
-
-<h3 id="buildWindows">Using Visual Studio</h3>
-
-<p>The following details setting up for and building Clang on Windows using
-Visual Studio:</p>
-
-<ol>
- <li>Get the required tools:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><b>Subversion</b>. Source code control program. Get it from:
- <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html">
- http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html</a></li>
- <li><b>cmake</b>. This is used for generating Visual Studio solution and
- project files. Get it from:
- <a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">
- http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html</a></li>
- <li><b>Visual Studio 2005 or 2008</b></li>
- <li><b>Python</b>. This is needed only if you will be running the tests
- (which is essential, if you will be developing for clang).
- Get it from:
- <a href="http://www.python.org/download">
- http://www.python.org/download</a></li>
- <li><b>GnuWin32 tools</b>
- These are also necessary for running the tests.
- (Note that the grep from MSYS or Cygwin doesn't work with the tests
- because of embedded double-quotes in the search strings. The GNU
- grep does work in this case.)
- Get them from <a href="http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net">
- http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net</a>.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <li>Checkout LLVM:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm</tt></li>
- </ul>
- <li>Checkout Clang:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>cd llvm\tools</tt>
- <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang</tt></li>
- </ul>
- <li>Run cmake to generate the Visual Studio solution and project files:</li>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>cd ..</tt> (Change directory back to the llvm top.)</li>
- <li>If you are using Visual Studio 2005: <tt>cmake .</tt></li>
- <li>Or if you are using Visual Studio 2008: <tt>cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .</tt></li>
- <li>The above, if successful, will have created an LLVM.sln file in the
- llvm directory.
- </ul>
- <li>Build Clang:</li>
- <ul>
- <li>Open LLVM.sln in Visual Studio.</li>
- <li>Build the "clang" project for just the compiler driver and front end, or
- the "ALL_BUILD" project to build everything, including tools.</li>
- </ul>
- <li>Try it out (assuming you added llvm/debug/bin to your path). (See the
- running examples from above.)</li>
- <li>See <a href="hacking.html#testingWindows">
- Hacking on clang - Testing using Visual Studio on Windows</a> for information
- on running regression tests on Windows.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>Note that once you have checked out both llvm and clang, to synchronize
-to the latest code base, use the <tt>svn update</tt> command in both the
-llvm and llvm\tools\clang directories, as they are separate repositories.</p>
-
-<a name="driver"><h2>Clang Compiler Driver (Drop-in Substitute for GCC)</h2></a>
-
-<p>The <tt>clang</tt> tool is the compiler driver and front-end, which is
-designed to be a drop-in replacement for the <tt>gcc</tt> command. Here are
-some examples of how to use the high-level driver:
-</p>
-
-<pre class="code">
-$ <b>cat t.c</b>
-#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
-int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("hello world\n"); }
-$ <b>clang t.c</b>
-$ <b>./a.out</b>
-hello world
-</pre>
-
-<p>The 'clang' driver is designed to work as closely to GCC as possible to
- maximize portability. The only major difference between the two is that
- Clang defaults to gnu99 mode while GCC defaults to gnu89 mode. If you see
- weird link-time errors relating to inline functions, try passing -std=gnu89
- to clang.</p>
