41 This document is a list of things to do before the LLVM project is publicly
42 released. &nbsp;It will provide a checklist so that we know what has been
43 done and what is left to be done. &nbsp;It will also keep a "wishlist" of
44 desirable features.

86 <li>Modify the build environment so that the LLVM utilities
87can be built outside of the research group. &nbsp;This entails:</li>
88
89 <ul>
90 <li>Modify the build environment so that it does not use absolute
91 paths.</li>
92 <li>Make the build environment more configurable via Makefile.config.<br>
93 </li>
94 <li>Add support for dynamic build configuration (i.e. autoconf
95or imake support).</li>
96 <li>Ensure that all build types (debug, optimized, profile) work
97correctly.<br>
98 </li>

101 <li>Ensure that the C front end compiles and installs nicely.</li>
102 <li>Place the C front end into the CVS repository.<br>

104 <li>Get the Reoptimizer code to work, ensuring that it does not rely
105 upon code outside of the source tree.<br>
106 </li>
107 <li>Create a structure that allows for the easy addition of outside
108 projects to the LLVM source tree.</li>
109 <li>Create a system for managing development and releases (i.e. CVS
110 branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>
