| 27 | <p>This document provides a list of the software packages that LLVM depends on |
| 28 | in order to be built successfully from CVS sources. The requirements for |
| 29 | building from a distribution are fewer. Items only needed for building from a |
| 30 | distribution are noted with an asterisk (*).</p> |
| 31 | <p>The table below shows the required software packages. Package is the usual |
| 32 | name for a given software package that LLVM depends on. Version is a list of |
| 33 | "known to work" versions of the package. Usage describes how LLVM uses the |
| 34 | package.</p> |
| 35 | <table> |

| 37 | <tr><td>autoconf*</td><td>2.59</td><td>Configuration script builder</td></tr> |
| 38 | <tr><td>bison</td><td>1.35</td><td>YACC compiler for various languages</td></tr> |
