Mostly being pedantic/nitpicking.
It looks like it's quite complicated, I'd prefer "as simple as possible" cmake commands.

---|---|---|
64–69 | Stylistic nit-pick: Perhaps make this an impersonal ("don't use I")? | |
86–90 | Nitpick: If you have done rm -rf on a directory, there's no point in using mkdir -p. [And technically, if you just created the directory, it shouldn't have a build or install directory in it, should it?] Mostly confusing as there are places below that doesn't use -p | |
94 | This seems unnecessary - assuming your system has a competent C and C++ compiler, cmake ought to pick it up by default. | |
96–102 | Are all of these things required? It looks complicated to me - the command I use isn't trivial, but it's simpler than this [it also limits number of parallel links and a few things, to avoid running low on memory]. | |
129–130 | The text above says that clang must be used for compiler-rt? | |
136 | Is compiler-rt incompatible with C++17? Keeping settings as similar as possible is helpful... | |
168 | Should that be standalone? |
I would love to see a more precise target in the future.
> ninja install-flang
Another nice target would be:
> ninja install-flang-headers
@Leporacanthicus , thank you so much for your excellent feedback. Sorry for the delay in responding.

64–69 | Thanks. I'll change it. | |
86–90 | Thanks. I'll change it. | |
94 | It looks like you're correct. I'll get rid of them. | |
96–102 | Yes, I've been able to simplify it. One thing that's not strictly necessary (but handy for debugging) is the -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON. | |
129–130 | Good catch. I'll fix this. | |
136 | Good question. I don't know the answer. But I do know that the commands in this document work. I'm not sure how to thoroughly test the results of changing the standard level, so I'm reluctant to change it. | |
168 | In this case, the instructions say to cd to the subdirectory of standalone which is called llvm-project/flang. This directory was created by the git clone command. |
@Leporacanthicus, do you require any further changes? If not, can you please approve?
