llvm dev - Mar 2017 - Using binary versions of release candidates...

I downloaded a binary build of release candidate 2, and it was simply
a bare directory tree with no README files or other directions.

Does one simply plop this in /usr/local or is there more to it? (I'm
on OS X.)

It depends how you plan to use it. You can just leave it in your home directory
and prepend the path to bin/ to you PATH.
Or you can instruct your build system to use this path (-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER /
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER for instance).

Hrm. I might do that. How will it know not to accidentally mix up
system tools and libraries with the ones in some part of my home dir?
Does some environment variable besides PATH need to be set? Is there
any documentation on this? I did a quick look around and couldn't find
any, which is why I asked on the list.
