* Remove projects/sample.Rafael Espindola2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As an example that was not actually being used, it suffered from a slow bitrot. The two main issues with it were that it had no cmake support and included a copy of the autoconf directory. The reality is that autoconf is not easily composable. The lack of composabilty is why we have clang options in llvm's configure. Suggesting that users include a copy of autoconf/ in their projects seems a bad idea. We are also in the process of switching to cmake, so pushing autoconf to new project is probably not what we want. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@203728 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* [docs] Stop advertising 'make update'. It isn't implemented in CMake andChandler Carruth2014-02-27

These are already being enforced by the build system and have been discussed quite a few times on the lists, but documentation is important. =] Also, garbage collect the majority of the information about broken host GCC toolchains. These aren't really relevant any more as they're all older than the minimum requirement. I've left a few notes about compilers one step older than the current requirement as these compilers are at least conceivable to use, and it's better to preserve this kind of hard-won institutional knowledge. The next step will be some specific docs on how to set up a sufficiently modern host toolchain if your system doesn't come with one. But that'll be tomorrow. =] git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@202375 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bits of software and to use a modern GCC version. The Subversion bit was weird anyways -- it has nothing to do with compiling LLVM. Also, there are many other ways to get at the trunk source (git, git-svn, etc). The TeXinfo thing... I have no idea about. But you can get a working LLVM w/o it pretty easily. If man pages or something are missing, that hardly seems like a problem. If folks really want this back, let me know, but it seems mostly like a distraction. I'd still like to separate this into: - Required software to compile. - Optional software to compile. - Required software for certain *contributor* activities (like regenerating configure scripts). Also we need to mention that there are multiple options for build systems, and the differences. Also we should mention Windows. Also probably other stuff I'm forgetting. I'm wondering if this whole thing needs to be shot in the head and we should just start a new, simpler getting started that doesn't have so many years of accumulated stuff that is no longer relevant. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@202373 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* [docs] Delete tons of bad information in the requirements section of theChandler Carruth2014-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | getting started guide. Some highlights: - I heard there was this Clang compiler that you could use for your host compiler. Not sure though. - We no longer have a GCC frontend with weird build restrictions. - Windows is doing a bit better than partially supported. - We nuked everything to do with itanium. - SPUs? Really? - Xcode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1 are really not a concern -- they don't work. - OMG, we actually tried building LLVM on Alpha? Really? - PowerPC works pretty well these days. There is still a lot of stuff here I'm pretty dubious about, but I nuked most of what was actively misleading, out of date, or patently wrong. Some of it (mingw stuff especially) isn't really lacking, its just that the comments here were actively wrong. Hopefully folks that know those platforms can add back correct / modern information. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@202370 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | part of getting started with LLVM. The LLVM getting started document is in woeful need of attention. I may get to some of this, but some random notes for folks interested: 1) We need to separate the getting started steps for folks who are interested in the core LLVM libs and nothing else, folks interested in a nifty C++ toolchain and nothing else, and folks interested in both. 2) We should include documentation for both release archives, svn, and git in equal portion, and we should document all of the various repositories of interest: llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, lld, libcxx, test-suite. 3) We should document the CMake build. We should probably document the CMake build first, and give a fall-back set of docs for the Makefile build for the use cases where that is still the preferred solution. This would more closely match the use cases that folks in the open source community are likely to have, and would remove a point of discrepancy between Linux, Windows, and Mac instructions. 4) Probably a ton of other modernization stuff that I've not thought of here. Anyways, if anyone at all is interested, please help clean up this document. It is much needed. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@189732 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
