84 <p>This document provides <em>usage</em> information about the LLVM makefile
85 system. While loosely patterned after the BSD makefile system, LLVM has taken
Chris Lattner5b7c9672004-10-25 19:28:03 +0000[diff] [blame]86 a departure from BSD in order to implement additional features needed by LLVM.
Reid Spencerf4215f72004-10-31 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 Spencerf4215f72004-10-31 17:51:38 +0000[diff] [blame]106 <p>The LLVM Makefile System is the component of LLVM that is responsible for

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 Spencer71e1e622005-01-16 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 Spencer72ba9da2004-10-23 07:57:22 +0000[diff] [blame]123 to get up and running quickly by utilizing the built-in features that are used
Reid Spencerf4215f72004-10-31 17:51:38 +0000[diff] [blame]124 to compile LLVM. LLVM compiles itself using the same features of the makefile

Reid Spencer3f5ed7b2004-12-06 05:35:25 +0000[diff] [blame]276 subtle, but important depending on how the module or library is to be linked.

285 <p>In some situations, you need to create a loadable module. Loadable modules
286 can be loaded into programs like <tt>opt</tt> or <tt>llc</tt> to specify
287 additional passes to run or targets to support. Loadable modules are also
288 useful for debugging a pass or providing a pass with another package if that
289 pass can't be included in LLVM.</p>
290 <p>LLVM provides complete support for building such a module. All you need to
291 do is use the LOADABLE_MODULE variable in your Makefile. For example, to
292 build a loadable module named <tt>MyMod</tt> that uses the LLVM libraries
293 <tt>LLVMSupport.a</tt> and <tt>LLVMSystem.a</tt>, you would specify:</p>
294 <pre><tt>
295 LIBRARYNAME := MyMod
296 LOADABLE_MODULE := 1
Chris Lattnera59bee72006-09-04 06:12:14 +0000[diff] [blame]297 LINK_COMPONENTS := support system
Reid Spencere6458c32006-08-07 23:12:15 +0000[diff] [blame]298 </tt></pre>
299 <p>Use of the <tt>LOADABLE_MODULE</tt> facility implies several things:</p>
300 <ol>
301 <li>There will be no "lib" prefix on the module. This differentiates it from
302 a standard shared library of the same name.</li>
303 <li>The <a href="#SHARED_LIBRARY">SHARED_LIBRARY</a> variable is turned
304 on.</li>
305 <li>The <a href="#LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED">LINK_LIBS_IN_SHARED</a> variable
306 is turned on.</li>
Reid Spencere6458c32006-08-07 23:12:15 +0000[diff] [blame]307 </ol>
308 <p>A loadable module is loaded by LLVM via the facilities of libtool's libltdl
309 library which is part of <tt>lib/System</tt> implementation.</p>

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

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