<p>This section describes how to aquire and build llvm-gcc4, which is based on
the GCC 4.0.1 front-end. This front-end supports C, C++, Objective-C, and
Objective-C++. Note that the instructions for building this front-end 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.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-gcc4 front end
from a read-only mirror using subversion. To check out the code the
first time use:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
svn co svn://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/llvm/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-gcc4.</li>
