llvm dev - Nov 2015 - difference with autotools, cmake and ninja building methods

When I see one book about llvm and choose the building method
between autotools, cmake, and ninja building methods, I was confused.
Is there any link about this content?
    Thanks for reply.

The autotools build system is officially deprecated and will be removed in a
future release.

CMake is the recommended configuration system, but it is only a configuration
system. It generates build files for multiple different build systems. One of
the most popular build systems is Ninja. You cannot build LLVM with Ninja
without using CMake, but CMake doesn’t require Ninja. You can use CMake to
generate Makefiles as well as Xcode and Visual Studio projects, and more.

This page has the LLVM project’s documentation on using CMake:

I often used cmake to compile llvm and clang. But I found a boring
problem: when I update all the repositories - llvm,clang,compiler-rt
and try to recompile, but I can't compile source code successfully and
it takes me much time to recompile. Does anyone has advice about this
problem?
