llvm dev - Jul 2010 - [LLVMdev] Minimal LLVM build?

Hi,

I'd like to integrate LLVM with a project, and I wonder what is the
absolute minimum amount of libraries I have to compile to get a
working LLVM/JIT for use from C++. That is, I don't want to build any
command line tools, no tests, no examples, just the libraries.

I assume that the following folders can be removed safely from the 2.7 release:
* unittests
* tools
* test
* bindings
* examples
* projects
* docs

At least the rest compiles fine if I get rid of these. Is there
something more I can strip from the source? I want to integrate into
my source repository, so I want to keep the number of files as small
as possible. utils in particular seems to contain a lot of stuff which
is not necessary for building LLVM.

Thanks!

Rather than removing folders, pass the right options to `configure' or
to cmake so they build just the libraries. If you are working on Unix,
tell the build process to build only the LLVM target for your
platform. At the end, it is almost certain that you get more libraries
compiled than you need.
