How to Compile Giri

Build and Install the LLVM

• You need the same version of LLVM as Giri to compile it (3.1, 3.4 and svn version)
• You'd better build the Release+Debug+Assert version of LLVM
• If you build the LLVM using GCC, version 4.7.3-r1 or higher is recommended.

Configure

• Create a build/ directory to avoiding pollute the source code directory
• ../configure with following options
  • --with-llvmsrc=$HOME/software/llvm/
  • --with-llvmobj=$HOME/software/llvm/build/
  • --enable-debug-runtime to build the debug version of the Giri runtime as well as DEBUG_GIRI_RUNTIME macro
