The first method is to build it at the same -time that you build all of the projects on which it depends. This is called -building in tree. The second method is to first do an in tree build to create -all of the projects on which flang depends. Then, after creating this base -build, only build the flang code itself. This is called building standalone. -Building standalone has the advantage of being smaller and faster. Once you -create the base build and base install areas, you can create multiple -standalone builds using them. - -Note that instructions for building LLVM can be found at -https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html. - -All of the examples below use GCC as the C/C++ compilers and ninja as the build -tool. - -### Building flang in tree -Building flang in tree means building flang along with all of the projects on -which it depends. These projects include mlir, clang, flang, openmp, and -compiler-rt. Note that compiler-rt is only needed to access libraries that -support 16 bit floating point numbers. It's not needed to run the automated -tests. You can use several different C++ compilers for most of the build, -includig GNU and clang. But building compiler-rt requres using the clang -compiler built in the initial part of the build. - -Here's a directory structure that works. Create a root directory for the -cloned and built files. Under that root directory, clone the source code -into a directory called llvm-project.
