21 This file is intended to do four things:
24 help you get started using LLVM;
28 tell you how to get questions about LLVM answered;
32 tell you where to find documentation for different kinds of questions; and
36 tell you about three LLVM-related mailing lists.
44 Getting Started with LLVM
49 For license information:
51 <a href="../LICENSE.TXT">llvm/LICENSE.TXT</a>
55 Installing and compiling LLVM:

67 Learn how to write a pass within the LLVM system:
69 <a href="WritingAnLLVMPass.html">llvm/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html </a>
73 Learn how to start a new development project using LLVM, where your
74 new source code can live anywhere (outside or inside the LLVM tree),
75 while using LLVM header files and libraries:

83 Getting Help with LLVM
88 If you have questions or development problems not answered in the
89 documentation, send e-mail to llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu. This mailing list is
90 monitored by all the people in the LLVM group at Illinois, and you
91 should expect prompt first responses.
95 To report a bug, submit a bug report as described in the document:
96 <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/docs/HowToSubmitABug.html">
97 http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/docs/HowToSubmitABug.html</a>
101 We now use Bugzilla to track bugs, so you can check the status of
103 <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/query.cgi">
104 http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/query.cgi </a>

115 are included as part of the LLVM release (in llvm/docs/*):

233 There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:
236 <li> LLVM Announcements List:<br>
237 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">
238 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce</a>
241 This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
242 LLVM. It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to
243 the software, etc. This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses
247 <li> LLVM Developers List:<br>
248 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">
249 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev</a>
252 This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions
253 of LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing
254 code for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
257 <li> LLVM Commits List<br>
258 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">
259 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</a>
262 This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
263 commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
264 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
