<p>This section describes how to acquire and build llvm-gcc 4.0 and 4.2, which are
|
|
based on the GCC 4.0.1/4.2.1 front-ends respectively. Both front-ends support C,
|
|
C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++. The 4.2 front-end also supports Ada and
|
|
Fortran to some extent. Note that the instructions for building these front-ends
|
|
are completely different (and much easier!) than those for building llvm-gcc3 in
|
|
the past.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Retrieve the appropriate llvm-gcc4.x-y.z.source.tar.gz archive from the
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">llvm web site</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is also possible to download the sources of the llvm-gcc front end
|
|
from a read-only mirror using subversion. To check out the 4.0 code
|
|
for first time use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm-gcc-4.0/trunk <i>dst-directory</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>To check out the 4.2 code use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm-gcc-4.2/trunk <i>dst-directory</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>After that, the code can be be updated in the destination directory
|
|
using:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>svn update</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mirror is brought up to date every evening.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Follow the directions in the top-level <tt>README.LLVM</tt> file for
|
|
up-to-date instructions on how to build llvm-gcc. See below for building
|
|
with support for Ada or Fortran.
|
|
</ol>

<a name="license">Building the Ada front-end</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>Building with support for Ada amounts to following the directions in the
|
|
top-level <tt>README.LLVM</tt> file, adding ",ada" to EXTRALANGS, for example:
|
|
<tt>EXTRALANGS=,ada</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are some complications however:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>The only platform for which the Ada front-end is known to build is
|
|
32 bit intel x86 running linux. It is unlikely to build for other
|
|
systems without some work.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>The build requires having a compiler that supports Ada, C and C++.
|
|
The Ada front-end is written in Ada so an Ada compiler is needed to
|
|
build it. Compilers known to work with the
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM 2.2 release</a>
|
|
are <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">gcc-4.2</a> and the
|
|
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2005 GNAT GPL Edition</a>.
|
|
<a href="GettingStarted.html#checkout">LLVM from subversion</a>
|
|
also works with the
|
|
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2006 and 2007 GNAT GPL Editions</a>.
|
|
The LLVM parts of llvm-gcc are written in C++ so a C++ compiler is
|
|
needed to build them. The rest of gcc is written in C.
|
|
Some linux distributions provide a version of gcc that supports all
|
|
three languages (the Ada part often comes as an add-on package to
|
|
the rest of gcc). Otherwise it is possible to combine two versions
|
|
of gcc, one that supports Ada and C (such as the
|
|
<a href="http://libre.adacore.com/">2005 GNAT GPL Edition</a>)
|
|
and another which supports C++, see below.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Because the Ada front-end is experimental, it is wise to build the
|
|
compiler with checking enabled. This causes it to run much slower, but
|
|
helps catch mistakes in the compiler (please report any problems using
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs">LLVM bugzilla</a>).</p></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Supposing appropriate compilers are available, llvm-gcc with Ada support can
|
|
be built on an x86-32 linux box using the following recipe:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>Download the <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/download.html">LLVM source</a>
