Reid Spencer | 2734bf7 | 2004-10-31 17:51:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 87 | Although makefile systems such as automake were attempted at one point, it |
| 88 | has become clear that the features needed by LLVM and the Makefile norm are |
| 89 | too great to use a more limited tool. Consequently, LLVM requires simply GNU |
| 90 | Make 3.79, a widely portable makefile processor. LLVM unabashedly makes heavy |
| 91 | use of the features of GNU Make so the dependency on GNU Make is firm. If |
| 92 | you're not familiar with <tt>make</tt>, it is recommended that you read the |

Reid Spencer | 2734bf7 | 2004-10-31 17:51:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 106 | <p>The LLVM Makefile System is the component of LLVM that is responsible for |
| 107 | building the software, testing it, generating distributions, checking those |
| 108 | distributions, installing and uninstalling, etc. It consists of a several |
| 109 | files throughout the source tree. These files and other general concepts are |

| 116 | <p>The LLVM Makefile System is quite generous. It not only builds its own |
| 117 | software, but it can build yours too. Built into the system is knowledge of |
| 118 | the <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory. Any directory under <tt>projects</tt> |
| 119 | that has both a <tt>configure</tt> script and a <tt>Makefile</tt> is assumed |
Reid Spencer | cd7c1ca | 2005-01-16 07:18:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 120 | to be a project that uses the LLVM Makefile system. Building software that |
| 121 | uses LLVM does not require the LLVM Makefile System nor even placement in the |
| 122 | <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory. However, doing so will allow your project |
Reid Spencer | 504b21a | 2004-10-23 07:57:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 123 | to get up and running quickly by utilizing the built-in features that are used |
Reid Spencer | 2734bf7 | 2004-10-31 17:51:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 124 | to compile LLVM. LLVM compiles itself using the same features of the makefile |

Gabor Greif | 04367bf | 2007-07-06 22:07:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 265 | a variety of sources, instead of an archive, shared library, or bitcode |

Reid Spencer | d8489c7 | 2004-12-06 05:35:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 278 | subtle, but important depending on how the module or library is to be linked. |

| 287 | <p>In some situations, you need to create a loadable module. Loadable modules |
| 288 | can be loaded into programs like <tt>opt</tt> or <tt>llc</tt> to specify |
| 289 | additional passes to run or targets to support. Loadable modules are also |
| 290 | useful for debugging a pass or providing a pass with another package if that |
| 291 | pass can't be included in LLVM.</p> |
| 292 | <p>LLVM provides complete support for building such a module. All you need to |
| 293 | do is use the LOADABLE_MODULE variable in your Makefile. For example, to |
| 294 | build a loadable module named <tt>MyMod</tt> that uses the LLVM libraries |
| 295 | <tt>LLVMSupport.a</tt> and <tt>LLVMSystem.a</tt>, you would specify:</p> |
| 296 | <pre><tt> |
| 297 | LIBRARYNAME := MyMod |
| 298 | LOADABLE_MODULE := 1 |

| 301 | <p>Use of the <tt>LOADABLE_MODULE</tt> facility implies several things:</p> |
| 302 | <ol> |
| 303 | <li>There will be no "lib" prefix on the module. This differentiates it from |
| 304 | a standard shared library of the same name.</li> |
| 305 | <li>The <a href="#SHARED_LIBRARY">SHARED_LIBRARY</a> variable is turned |
| 306 | on.</li> |
| 307 | <li>The <a href="#LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED">LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED</a> variable |

| 317 | <p>For building executable programs (tools), you must provide the name of the |
| 318 | tool and the names of the libraries you wish to link with the tool. For |
| 319 | example:</p> |
| 320 | <pre><tt> |
| 321 | TOOLNAME = mytool |
| 322 | USEDLIBS = mylib |

| 325 | <p>says that we are to build a tool name <tt>mytool</tt> and that it requires |
| 326 | three libraries: <tt>mylib</tt>, <tt>LLVMSupport.a</tt> and |
| 327 | <tt>LLVMSystem.a</tt>.</p> |
| 328 | <p>Note that two different variables are use to indicate which libraries are |
| 329 | linked: <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> and <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt>. This distinction is necessary |
| 330 | to support projects. <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> refers to the LLVM libraries found in |
| 331 | the LLVM object directory. <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> refers to the libraries built by |
| 332 | your project. In the case of building LLVM tools, <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> and |
| 333 | <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt> can be used interchangeably since the "project" is LLVM |
| 334 | itself and <tt>USEDLIBS</tt> refers to the same place as <tt>LLVMLIBS</tt>. |
| 335 | </p> |
| 336 | <p>Also note that there are two different ways of specifying a library: with a |
| 337 | <tt>.a</tt> suffix and without. Without the suffix, the entry refers to the |
| 338 | re-linked (.o) file which will include <em>all</em> symbols of the library. |
| 339 | This is useful, for example, to include all passes from a library of passes. |
| 340 | If the <tt>.a</tt> suffix is used then the library is linked as a searchable |
| 341 | library (with the <tt>-l</tt> option). In this case, only the symbols that are |
| 342 | unresolved <em>at that point</em> will be resolved from the library, if they |
| 343 | exist. Other (unreferenced) symbols will not be included when the <tt>.a</tt> |
| 344 | syntax is used. Note that in order to use the <tt>.a</tt> suffix, the library |
| 345 | in question must have been built with the <tt>ARCHIVE_LIBRARY</tt> option set. |
