I'm writing a C++ program that uses LLVM, and trying to build it with autotools. Thanks to Diego Novillo, there is an M4 macro that detects llvm-config: https://github.com/google/autofdo/blob/master/m4/ax_llvm.m4 How do I use it? Given that I've written a basic configure.ac that can compile a basic C++ program, how do I modify it to make use of the macro? And should the macro be copied into the project directory as a separate file or pasted into configure.ac? I tried a Google search for how to include a macro from configure.ac but I'm not clear on what the results mean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Russell,
You would have better luck asking those questions on
autoconf at gnu.org as the llvm project has just finished depreciating
the use of autoconf in favor of cmake.

Jack's correct about moving this to autoconf at gnu.org. However, you can start by cutting and pasting the configure.ac bits from the same github repo I pointed you to earlier today. The actual commit that brought those changes may be easier to use as a template. https://github.com/google/autofdo/pull/30/commits/0029f4be825f851b9d99bcd19dcb34fd59f1775e On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 4:35 PM, Russell Wallace via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote:> I'm writing a C++ program that uses LLVM, and trying to build it with > autotools.

Ah, that does clarify things some! I'll try going from that, and if I have more questions, I'll try the autoconf list. Thanks!
