llvm dev - Jan 2014 - [LLVMdev] Build/Install of LLVM without root access

I must not be asking clearly.  I have a machine on which I have placed the
tarballs - but no internet access.

How do I use the *src.tar.gz files from the llvm 3.4 downloads page?  I
understand the layout produced by the svn actions, but if I have just the
tarballs, do I simply replace "svn co" with "tar -xvzf" in
the sequence?  How do the names of the tarballs map to the names of the svn
projects?

Bryan, you'll first need to decide which packages are relevant.  If you
would like to build a simple LLVM install using the CLANG frontend, do the
following:

$> mkdir build
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
$> cd llvm/tools/
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
$> cd clang/tools/
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/clang-tools-extra/trunk extra
$> cd ../../../..
$> cd llvm/projects
$> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt
$> cd ../../
$> cd build
$> ./llvm/configure --prefix=/path/to/your/resting/place
$> make
$> make install


cheers

svn talks about llvm, cfe, compiler-rt, etc; however, the source is in many
differently named *.tar.gz files:

The source tar ball structure should be identical to the svn/git repository
checkout. Simply replacing svn for tar should do the trick, yes.

Thanks for all the information on build and source hierarchy.  I have to give up
for now because I have gcc 3.4.6, which dies a miserable death  when I attempt
to compile LLVM....

In file included from llvm-3.4/lib/Support/ConstantRange.cpp:24:
IR/InstrTypes.h: In static member function `static bool
llvm::TerminatorInst::classof(const llvm::Value*)':
IR/InstrTypes.h:80: error: call of overloaded `cast(const
llvm::Value*&)' is ambiguous
Support/Casting.h:231: note: candidates are: typename llvm::cast_retty<To,
From>::ret_type llvm::cast(Y&) [with X = llvm::Instruction, Y = const
llvm::Value*]
Support/Casting.h:238: note:                 typename llvm::cast_retty<X,
Y*>::ret_type llvm::cast(Y*) [with X = llvm::Instruction, Y = const
llvm::Value]

Rats.  Off to find a newer gcc (and all that it requires).

Again, thanks for your help!
