NAME

       llvm-build - LLVM Project Build Utility

SYNOPSIS

       llvm-build [options]

DESCRIPTION

       llvm-build  is  a  tool  for  working with LLVM projects that use the LLVMBuild system for
       describing their components.

       At heart, llvm-build is responsible for loading, verifying, and manipulating the project's
       component  data.  The tool is primarily designed for use in implementing build systems and
       tools which need access to the project structure information.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
          Print the builtin program help.

       --source-root=PATH
          If given, load the project at the given source root path. If this option is not  given,
          the  location  of  the  project  sources  will  be  inferred  from  the location of the
          llvm-build script itself.

       --print-tree
          Print the component tree for the project.

       --write-library-table
          Write out the C++ fragment which defines the components, library  names,  and  required
          libraries.  This C++ fragment is built into llvm-config|llvm-config in order to provide
          clients with the list of required libraries for arbitrary component combinations.

       --write-llvmbuild
          Write out new LLVMBuild.txt files based on the loaded components. This  is  useful  for
          auto-upgrading  the  schema  of  the  files. llvm-build will try to a limited extent to
          preserve the comments which were written in the original source file, although at  this
          time  it  only preserves block comments that precede the section names in the LLVMBuild
          files.

       --write-cmake-fragment
          Write out the LLVMBuild in the form of a CMake fragment, so it can easily  be  consumed
          by the CMake based build system. The exact contents and format of this file are closely
          tied to how LLVMBuild is integrated with CMake, see LLVM's top-level CMakeLists.txt.

       --write-make-fragment
          Write out the LLVMBuild in the form of  a  Makefile  fragment,  so  it  can  easily  be
          consumed  by  a Make based build system. The exact contents and format of this file are
          closely  tied  to  how  LLVMBuild  is  integrated  with  the  Makefiles,   see   LLVM's
          Makefile.rules.

       --llvmbuild-source-root=PATH
          If  given,  expect  the LLVMBuild files for the project to be rooted at the given path,
          instead of inside the source tree itself. This option is primarily designed for use  in
          conjunction with --write-llvmbuild to test changes to LLVMBuild schema.

EXIT STATUS

       llvm-build  exits  with  0  if  operation  was successful. Otherwise, it will exist with a
       non-zero value.
