Quickstart
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get 3.2 version of LLVM, build it. Make sure ``--enable-pic`` is
|
||||
passed to LLVM's ``configure``.
|
||||
1. Get and extract LLVM 3.2 source tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
For LLVM 3.2, make sure that environment variable ``REQUIRES_RTTI=1`` is
|
||||
defined when running ``make``. Otherwise, you may see "undefined symbol:
|
||||
_ZTIN4llvm24PassRegistrationListenerE". Please refer to
|
||||
http://llvm.org/docs/Packaging.html#c-features for details.
|
||||
2. Run ``./configure --enable-optimized`` in the extracted directory.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Without the ``--enable-optimized`` flag, debug build will be
|
||||
selected. Unless you are developing LLVM or llvmpy, it is recommended
|
||||
that the flag is used to reduce build time and binary size.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run ``REQUIRES_RTTI=1 make`` to build.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: With LLVM 3.2, the default build configuration has C++ RTTI
|
||||
disabled. However, llvmpy requires RTTI.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Get llvm-py and install it::

Common Build Problems
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. If llvmpy cannot be imported due to "undefined symbol:
|
||||
_ZTIN4llvm24PassRegistrationListenerE", it is because RTTI is not enabled
|
||||
when building LLVM. "_ZTIN4llvm24PassRegistrationListenerE" is the typeinfo
|
||||
of PassRegistrationListener class.
