   <p><a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a> is a cross-platform
     build-generator tool. CMake does not build the project, it generates
     the files needed by your build tool (GNU make, Visual Studio, etc) for
     building LLVM.</p>

   <p>If you are really anxious about getting a functional LLVM build,
     go to the <a href="#quickstart">Quick start</a> section. If you
     are a CMake novice, start on <a href="#usage">Basic CMake
       usage</a> and then go back to the <a href="#quickstart">Quick
       start</a> once you know what you are
     doing. The <a href="#options">Options and variables</a> section
     is a reference for customizing your build. If you already have
     experience with CMake, this is the recommended starting point.

 <p> We use here the command-line, non-interactive CMake interface </p>

 <ol>

   <li><p><a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">Download</a>
       and install CMake. Version 2.6.2 is the minimum required.</p>

   <li><p>Open a shell. Your development tools must be reachable from this
       shell through the PATH environment variable.</p>

   <li><p>Create a directory for containing the build. It is not
       supported to build LLVM on the source directory. cd to this
       directory:</p>
     <div class="doc_code">
       <p><tt>mkdir mybuilddir</tt></p>
       <p><tt>cd mybuilddir</tt></p>
     </div>

   <li><p>Execute this command on the shell
       replacing <i>path/to/llvm/source/root</i> with the path to the
       root of your LLVM source tree:</p>
     <div class="doc_code">
       <p><tt>cmake path/to/llvm/source/root</tt></p>
     </div>

     <p>CMake will detect your development environment, perform a
       series of test and generate the files required for building
       LLVM. CMake will use default values for all build
       parameters. See the <a href="#options">Options and variables</a>
       section for fine-tuning your build</p>

     <p>This can fail if CMake can't detect your toolset, or if it
       thinks that the environment is not sane enough. On this case
       make sure that the toolset that you intend to use is the only
       one reachable from the shell and that the shell itself is the
       correct one for you development environment. CMake will refuse
       to build MinGW makefiles if you have a POSIX shell reachable
       through the PATH environment variable, for instance. You can
       force CMake to use a given build tool, see
       the <a href="#usage">Usage</a> section.</p>

 <div class="doc_text">

   <p>This section explains basic aspects of CMake, mostly for
     explaining those options which you may need on your day-to-day
     usage.</p>

   <p>CMake comes with extensive documentation in the form of html
     files and on the cmake executable itself. Execute <i>cmake
     --help</i> for further help options.</p>

   <p>CMake requires to know for which build tool it shall generate
     files (GNU make, Visual Studio, Xcode, etc). If not specified on
     the command line, it tries to guess it based on you
     environment. Once identified the build tool, CMake uses the
     corresponding <i>Generator</i> for creating files for your build
     tool. You can explicitly specify the generator with the command
     line option <i>-G "Name of the generator"</i>. For knowing the
     available generators on your platform, execute</p>

     <div class="doc_code">
       <p><tt>cmake --help</tt></p>
     </div>

     <p>This will list the generator's names at the end of the help
       text. Generator's names are case-sensitive. Example:</p>

     <div class="doc_code">
       <p><tt>cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" path/to/llvm/source/root</tt></p>
     </div>

     <p>For a given development platform there can be more than one
       adequate generator. If you use Visual Studio "NMake Makefiles"
       is a generator you can use for building with NMake. By default,
       CMake chooses the more specific generator supported by your
       development environment. If you want an alternative generator,
       you must tell this to CMake with the <i>-G</i> option.</p>

     <p>TODO: explain variables and cache. Move explanation here from
       #options section.</p>

 <div class="doc_text">

   <p>Variables customize how the build will be generated. Options are
     boolean variables, with possible values ON/OFF. Options and
     variables are defined on the CMake command line like this:</p>

   <div class="doc_code">
     <p><tt>cmake -DVARIABLE=value path/to/llvm/source</tt></p>
   </div>

   <p>You can set a variable after the initial CMake invocation for
     changing its value. You can also undefine a variable:</p>

   <div class="doc_code">
     <p><tt>cmake -UVARIABLE path/to/llvm/source</tt></p>
   </div>

   <p>Variables are stored on the CMake cache. This is a file
     named <tt>CMakeCache.txt</tt> on the root of the build
     directory. Do not hand-edit it.</p>

   <p>Variables are listed here appending its type after a colon. It is
     correct to write the variable and the type on the CMake command
     line:</p>

	<dd>Add the <i>-fPIC</i> flag for the compiler command-line, if the
	compiler supports this flag. Some systems, like Windows, do not
	need this flag. Defaults to ON.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_ENABLE_WARNINGS</b>:BOOL</dt>
	<dd>Enable all compiler warnings. Defaults to ON.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_ENABLE_PEDANTIC</b>:BOOL</dt>
	<dd>Enable pedantic mode. This disable compiler specific extensions, is
	possible. Defaults to ON.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_ENABLE_WERROR</b>:BOOL</dt>
	<dd>Stop and fail build, if a compiler warning is
	triggered. Defaults to OFF.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_BUILD_32_BITS</b>:BOOL</dt>
	<dd>Build 32-bits executables and libraries on 64-bits systems. This
	option is available only on some 64-bits unix systems. Defaults to
	OFF.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_TARGET_ARCH</b>:STRING</dt>
	<dd>LLVM target to use for native code generation. This is required
	for JIT generation. It defaults to "host", meaning that it shall
	pick the architecture of the machine where LLVM is being built. If
	you are cross-compiling, set it to the target architecture
	name.</dd>

	<dt><b>LLVM_TABLEGEN</b>:STRING</dt>
	<dd>Full path to a native TableGen executable (usually
	named <i>tblgen</i>). This is intented for cross-compiling: if the
	user sets this variable, no native TableGen will be created.</dd>
