llvm dev - Jan 2011 - [LLVMdev] install and add backend to llvm.

Hi I am new to llvm and Linux (I am using ubuntu 10)

My aim is to add backend to llvm. 

I install llvm using 

$ sudo apt-get install llvm

and I am able to understand what I read about Writing an LLVM Compiler Backend.

I have seen the assembly codes of the targets on llvm using llc. What I need now
is to change some of the TableGen files of one of the target like
SparcInstrInfo.td.  So I uninstall llvm and I try to build it manually as
specified in Getting Started with the LLVM System.
http://llvm.org/releases/2.7/docs/GettingStarted.html.

The building finish with out error (I didn\t include LLVM Test Suite).
I use default for all of the options!! 

But when I use all of tools  for example 
$ lli hello.bc

I get

The program 'lli' is currently not installed.  You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install llvm-2.7-runtime

Any help please.

I just need to see the effect of a changes in TableGen files, when i print the
assembly code.
like name of register, or name of Instruction. 

thanks

Have you added the $LLVM_INSTALL_DIR/bin to your PATH environment variable?

Regarding changing a particular backend, check the documentation in 
http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html
http://llvm.org/docs/CodeGenerator.html

A few LLVMdev meetings have good talks to give you a good enough idea.

Thanks Raghu

It is working fine now!!!!

I change the name of the instruction "add" to "newadd" in 
root/llvm/lib/Target/XCore/XCoreInstrInfo.td. Then I go to
objllvm/lib/Target/XCore/

then I run

$ make
$ cd
$ cd objllvm
$ sudo make install

I can see the new name *newadd" in the assembly code now but Is this the
shortest way?
I mean I change only one file :)

thanks again!!!!
