 <p>The LLVM build system is designed to facilitate the building of third party
 projects that use LLVM header files, libraries, and tools.  In order to use
 these facilities, a Makefile from a project must do the following things:</p>

 <ol>
 <li>Set environment variables.There are several environment variables that a
 Makefile needs to set to use the LLVM build system:

 <ul>
   <li><tt>LLVM_SRC_ROOT</tt> - The root of the LLVM source tree.</li>
   <li><tt>LLVM_OBJ_ROOT</tt> - The root of the LLVM object tree.</li>
   <li><tt>BUILD_SRC_ROOT</tt> - The root of the project's source tree.</li>
   <li><tt>BUILD_OBJ_ROOT</tt> - The root of the project's object tree.</li>
   <li><tt>BUILD_SRC_DIR</tt> - The directory containing the current source to be
   compiled.</li>
   <li><tt>BUILD_OBJ_DIR</tt> - The directory where the current source will place
   the new object files.  This should always be the current directory.</li>
   <li><tt>LEVEL</tt> - The relative path from the current directory to the root
   of the object tree.</li>
 </ul></li>
 <li>Include <tt>Makefile.config</tt> from <tt>$(LLVM_OBJ_ROOT)</tt>.</li>
 <li>Include <tt>Makefile.rules</tt> from <tt>$(LLVM_SRC_ROOT)</tt>.</li>
 </ol>

 <p>There are two ways that you can set all of these variables:</p>

 <ol>
 <li>You can write your own Makefiles which hard-code these values.</li>

 <li> You can use the pre-made LLVM sample project.  This sample project includes
 Makefiles, a configure script that can be used to configure the location of
 LLVM, and the ability to support multiple object directories from a single
 source directory.</li>
 </ol>

 <p>This document assumes that you will base your project off of the LLVM sample
 project found in <tt>llvm/projects/sample</tt>.  If you want to devise your own
 build system, studying the sample project and LLVM Makefiles will probably
 provide enough information on how to write your own Makefiles.</p>

 </div>

 <!-- *********************************************************************** -->
 <div class="doc_section">
   <a name="create">Create a Project from the Sample Project</a>
 </div>
 <!-- *********************************************************************** -->

 <div class="doc_text">

 <p>Follow these simple steps to start your project:</p>

 <ol>
 <li>Copy the <tt>llvm/projects/sample</tt> directory to any place of your
 choosing.  You can place it anywhere you like.  Rename the directory to match
 the name of your project.</li>

 <li>Add your source code and Makefiles to your source tree.</li>

 <li>If you want your Makefiles to be configured by the <tt>configure</tt>
 script, or if you want to support multiple object directories, add your
 Makefiles to the <tt>configure</tt> script by adding them into the
 <tt>autoconf/configure.ac</tt> file.  The macro <tt>AC_CONFIG_MAKEFILE</tt> will
 copy a file, unmodified, from the source directory to the object directory.</li>

 <li>After updating <tt>autoconf/configure.ac</tt>, regenerate the
 configure script with these commands:

 <div class="doc_code">
 <p><tt>% cd autoconf<br>
        % autoconf -o ../configure</tt></p>
 </div>

 <p>You must be using Autoconf version 2.57 or higher.</p></li>

 <li>Run <tt>configure</tt> in the directory in which you want to place
 object code.  Use the following options to tell your project where it
 can find LLVM:

   <dl>
     <dt><tt>--with-llvmsrc=&lt;directory&gt;</tt>
     <dd>
     Tell your project where the LLVM source tree is located.
     <p>
     <dt><tt>--with-llvmobj=&lt;directory&gt;</tt>
     <dd>
     Tell your project where the LLVM object tree is located.
   </dl>
 </ol>

 <p>That's it!  Now all you have to do is type <tt>gmake</tt> in the root of
 your object directory, and your project should build.</p>

 </div>

 <div class="doc_section">
   <a name="source">Source Tree Layout</a>
 </div>
 <!-- *********************************************************************** -->

 <div class="doc_text">

 <p>In order to use the LLVM build system, you will want to organize your
 source code so that it can benefit from the build system's features.
 Mainly, you want your source tree layout to look similar to the LLVM
 source tree layout.  The best way to do this is to just copy the
 project tree from <tt>llvm/projects/sample</tt> and modify it to meet
 your needs, but you can certainly add to it if you want.</p>

 <p>Underneath your top level directory, you should have the following
 directories:</p>

 <dl>
   <dt><b>lib</b>
   <dd>
   This subdirectory should contain all of your library source
   code.  For each library that you build, you will have one
   directory in <b>lib</b> that will contain that library's source
   code.

   <p>
   Libraries can be object files, archives, or dynamic libraries.
   The <b>lib</b> directory is just a convenient place for libraries
   as it places them all in a directory from which they can be linked
   later.

   <dt><b>include</b>
   <dd>
   This subdirectory should contain any header files that are
   global to your project.  By global, we mean that they are used
   by more than one library or executable of your project.
   <p>
   By placing your header files in <b>include</b>, they will be
   found automatically by the LLVM build system.  For example, if
   you have a file <b>include/jazz/note.h</b>, then your source
   files can include it simply with <b>#include "jazz/note.h"</b>.

   <dt><b>tools</b>
   <dd>
   This subdirectory should contain all of your source
   code for executables.  For each program that you build, you
   will have one directory in <b>tools</b> that will contain that
   program's source code.
   <p>

   <dt><b>test</b>
   <dd>
   This subdirectory should contain tests that verify that your code
   works correctly.  Automated tests are especially useful.
   <p>
   Currently, the LLVM build system provides little support for tests,
   although some exists.  Expanded support for tests will hopefully
   occur in the future.  In the meantime, the LLVM system does provide the
   following:
   <ul>
     <li>
     LLVM provides several QMTest test classes that can be used to
     create tests.  They can be found in
     <tt>llvm/test/QMTest/llvm.py</tt>.  These test classes perform a
     variety of functions, including code optimization tests, assembly
     tests,  and code analysis tests.  The Makefile in
     <tt>llvm/test</tt> provides the QMTest context needed by LLVM test
     classes.
     <p>

     <li>
     The LLVM source tree provides benchmarks and programs which are
     known to compile with the LLVM GCC front ends.  You can use these
     programs to test your code, gather statistics information, and
     compare it to the current LLVM performance statistics.  These
     programs are found in the <tt>llvm/test/Programs</tt> directory.
     <p>
     Currently, there is no way to hook your tests directly into the
     <tt>llvm/test/Programs</tt> testing harness.  You will simply
     need to find a way to use the source provided within that directory
     on your own.
   </ul>
 </dl>

 <p>Typically, you will want to build your <b>lib</b> directory first followed by
 your <b>tools</b> directory.</p>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <p>The LLVM build system provides a convenient way to build libraries and
 executables.  Most of your project Makefiles will only need to define a few
 variables.  Below is a list of the variables one can set and what they can
 do:</p>

 </div>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <div class="doc_subsection">
   <a name="reqVars">Required Variables</a>
 </div>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <dl>
   <dt>LEVEL
   <dd>
   This variable is the relative path from this Makefile to the
   top directory of your project's source code.  For example, if
   your source code is in <tt>/tmp/src</tt>, then the Makefile in
   <tt>/tmp/src/jump/high</tt> would set <tt>LEVEL</tt> to <tt>"../.."</tt>.
 </dl>

 </div>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <div class="doc_subsection">
   <a name="varsBuildDir">Variables for Building Subdirectories</a>
 </div>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <dl>
   <dt>DIRS
   <dd>
   This is a space separated list of subdirectories that should be
   built.  They will be built, one at a time, in the order
   specified.
   <p>

   <dt>PARALLEL_DIRS
   <dd>
   This is a list of directories that can be built in parallel.
   These will be built after the directories in DIRS have been
   built.
   <p>

   <dt>OPTIONAL_DIRS
   <dd>
   This is a list of directories that can be built if they exist,
   but will not cause an error if they do not exist.  They are
   built serially in the order in which they are listed.
 </dl>

 </div>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <div class="doc_subsection">
   <a name="varsBuildLib">Variables for Building Libraries</a>
 </div>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <dl>
   <dt>LIBRARYNAME
   <dd>
   This variable contains the base name of the library that will
   be built.  For example, to build a library named
   <tt>libsample.a</tt>, LIBRARYNAME should be set to
   <tt>sample</tt>.
   <p>

   <dt>BUILD_ARCHIVE
   <dd>
   By default, a library is a <tt>.o</tt> file that is linked
   directly into a program.  To build an archive (also known as
   a static library), set the BUILD_ARCHIVE variable.
   <p>

   <dt>SHARED_LIBRARY
   <dd>
   If SHARED_LIBRARY is defined in your Makefile, a shared
   (or dynamic) library will be built.
 </dl>

 </div>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <div class="doc_subsection">
   <a name="varsBuildProg">Variables for Building Programs</a>
 </div>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <dl>
   <dt>TOOLNAME
   <dd>
   This variable contains the name of the program that will
   be built.  For example, to build an executable named
   <tt>sample</tt>, TOOLNAME should be set to <tt>sample</tt>.
   <p>

   <dt>USEDLIBS
   <dd>
   This variable holds a space separated list of libraries that
   should be linked into the program.  These libraries must either
   be LLVM libraries or libraries that come from your <b>lib</b>
   directory.  The libraries must be specified by their base name.
   For example, to link libsample.a, you would set USEDLIBS to
   <tt>sample</tt>.
   <p>
   Note that this works only for statically linked libraries.
   <p>

   <dt>LIBS
   <dd>
   To link dynamic libraries, add <tt>-l&lt;library base name&gt;</tt> to
   the LIBS variable.  The LLVM build system will look in the same places
   for dynamic libraries as it does for static libraries.
   <p>
   For example, to link <tt>libsample.so</tt>, you would have the
   following line in your <tt>Makefile</tt>:
   <p>
   <tt>
   LIBS += -lsample
   </tt>
 </dl>

 </div>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <div class="doc_subsection">
   <a name="miscVars">Miscellaneous Variables</a>
 </div>

 <div class="doc_text">

 <dl>
   <dt>ExtraSource
   <dd>
   This variable contains a space separated list of extra source
   files that need to be built.  It is useful for including the
   output of Lex and Yacc programs.
   <p>

   <dt>CFLAGS
   <dt>CPPFLAGS
   <dd>
   This variable can be used to add options to the C and C++
   compiler, respectively.  It is typically used to add options
   that tell the compiler the location of additional directories
   to search for header files.
   <p>
   It is highly suggested that you append to CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS as
   opposed to overwriting them.  The master Makefiles may already
   have useful options in them that you may not want to overwrite.

	This is a space separated list of subdirectories that should be
	built. They will be built, one at a time, in the order
	specified.
	<p>

	<dt>PARALLEL_DIRS
	<dd>
	This is a list of directories that can be built in parallel.
	These will be built after the directories in DIRS have been
	built.
	<p>

	<dt>OPTIONAL_DIRS
	<dd>
	This is a list of directories that can be built if they exist,
	but will not cause an error if they do not exist. They are
	built serially in the order in which they are listed.

	<dl>
	<dt>LIBRARYNAME
	<dd>
	This variable contains the base name of the library that will
	be built. For example, to build a library named
	<tt>libsample.a</tt>, LIBRARYNAME should be set to
	<tt>sample</tt>.
	<p>

	<dt>BUILD_ARCHIVE
	<dd>
	By default, a library is a <tt>.o</tt> file that is linked
	directly into a program. To build an archive (also known as
	a static library), set the BUILD_ARCHIVE variable.
	<p>

	<dt>SHARED_LIBRARY
	<dd>
	If SHARED_LIBRARY is defined in your Makefile, a shared
	(or dynamic) library will be built.
	</dl>

	<dl>
	<dt>TOOLNAME
	<dd>
	This variable contains the name of the program that will
	be built. For example, to build an executable named
	<tt>sample</tt>, TOOLNAME should be set to <tt>sample</tt>.
	<p>

	<dt>USEDLIBS
	<dd>
	This variable holds a space separated list of libraries that
	should be linked into the program. These libraries must either
	be LLVM libraries or libraries that come from your <b>lib</b>
	directory. The libraries must be specified by their base name.
	For example, to link libsample.a, you would set USEDLIBS to
	<tt>sample</tt>.
	<p>
	Note that this works only for statically linked libraries.
	<p>

	<dt>LIBS
	<dd>
	To link dynamic libraries, add <tt>-l<library base name></tt> to
	the LIBS variable. The LLVM build system will look in the same places
	for dynamic libraries as it does for static libraries.
	<p>
	For example, to link <tt>libsample.so</tt>, you would have the
	following line in your <tt>Makefile</tt>:
	<p>
	<tt>
	LIBS += -lsample
	</tt>

	<dt>ExtraSource
	<dd>
	This variable contains a space separated list of extra source
	files that need to be built. It is useful for including the
	output of Lex and Yacc programs.
	<p>

	<dt>CFLAGS
	<dt>CPPFLAGS
	<dd>
	This variable can be used to add options to the C and C++
	compiler, respectively. It is typically used to add options
	that tell the compiler the location of additional directories
	to search for header files.
	<p>
	It is highly suggested that you append to CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS as
	opposed to overwriting them. The master Makefiles may already
	have useful options in them that you may not want to overwrite.
