    + Compiling LLVM As A Cross-compiler +
    + +
    +

    LLVM can be built as a cross-compiler, however some additional steps are + required.1 To build a cross-compiler, use + these instructions:

    +
      +
    1. Configure and build LLVM Suite as a native compiler. You will need + just TableGen from that build. +
        +
      • If you have $LLVM_OBJ_ROOT=$LLVM_SRC_ROOT just execute + make -C utils/TableGen after configuring.
        • +
      • Otherwise you will need to monitor building process and terminate + it just after TableGen was built.
        • +
      +
      2. +
    2. Copy the TableGen binary to somewhere safe (out of your build tree). +
      3. +
    3. Configure LLVM to build as a cross-compiler. To do this, supply the + configure script with --build and --host options that + are different. The values of these options must be legal target triples and + should specify a processor for which LLVM supports code generation.
      4. +
    4. Put the saved TableGen executable into the + into $LLVM_OBJ_ROOT/{BUILD_TYPE}/bin directory (e.g. into + .../Release/bin for a Release build).
      5. +
    5. Build LLVM as usual.
      6. +
    +

    Notes:

    +
    +
      +
    1. Cross-compiling was tested only with Linux as + build platform and Windows as host using mingw32 cross-compiler. Other + combinations have not been tested.
