32<p>This section describes how to aquire and build llvm-gcc4, which is based on
33the GCC 4.0.1 front-end. This front-end supports C, C++, Objective-C, and
34Objective-C++. Note that the instructions for building this front-end are
35completely different (and much easier!) than those for building llvm-gcc3 in
36the past.</p>
37
38<ol>
39 <li><p>Retrieve the appropriate llvm-gcc4-x.y.source.tar.gz archive from the
40 <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">llvm web site</a>.</p>
41
42 <p>It is also possible to download the sources of the llvm-gcc4 front end
43 from a read-only mirror using subversion. To check out the code the
44 first time use:</p>
45
46<div class="doc_code">
47<pre>
48svn co svn://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/llvm/trunk <i>dst-directory</i>
49</pre>
50</div>
51
52 <p>After that, the code can be be updated in the destination directory
53 using:</p>
54
55<div class="doc_code">
56<pre>svn update</pre>
57</div>
58
59 <p>The mirror is brought up to date every evening.</p></li>
60
61 <li>Follow the directions in the top-level <tt>README.LLVM</tt> file for
62 up-to-date instructions on how to build llvm-gcc4.</li>
