llvm dev - Feb 2018 - how are the binary distribution compiled?

I see that some of the announcements of binaries for Windows include the
script using for compiling.

Is there anything similar (or some other form of documentation) for the
binaries distributed on http://releases.llvm.org/download.html for other
platforms? (I'm particularly interested in Ubuntu)

Thanks,

  Maurizio

Hi Maurizio,

If you're looking to build packages you should take a look at the
test-release.sh script in utils/release/ in the llvm sources.

You can checkout out the release directory directly from svn, and then use the
script like

"./release/test-release.sh -release <version number as dotted form>
-final -triple x86_64-linux-gnu-debian8 -j <number of jobs>"
and it will build that particular version of LLVM three times, run the builtin
test-suite, fetch the main test suite, check that
and then package the resulting binaries.

The -triple argument there is for packaging purposes, and there are additional
options to pass particular configure flags to the
build process and to control what other sub projects gets included in the
building and testing. It's also possible to select particular
release candidates with -rc X instead of final.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Maurizio,

You can use test-release.sh to build (and test :) a binary distribution. E.g to
build the 5.0.1 release, you might run:

./test-release.sh -release 5.0.1 -final
