Introduction

This document provides usage information about the LLVM makefile system. While loosely patterned after the BSD makefile system, LLVM has taken a departure from BSD in order to implement additional features needed by LLVM. Although makefile systems such as automake were attempted at one point, it has become clear that the features needed by LLVM and the Makefile norm are too great to use a more limited tool. Consequently, LLVM requires simply GNU Make 3.79, a widely portable makefile processor. LLVM unabashedly makes heavy use of the features of GNU Make so the dependency on GNU Make is firm. If you're not familiar with `make`, it is recommended that you read the GNU Makefile Manual.

While this document is rightly part of the LLVM Programmer's Manual, it is treated separately here because of the volume of content and because it is often an early source of bewilderment for new developers.

General Concepts

The LLVM Makefile System is the component of LLVM that is responsible for building the software, testing it, generating distributions, checking those distributions, installing and uninstalling, etc. It consists of a several files throughout the source tree. These files and other general concepts are described in this section.

Projects

The LLVM Makefile System is quite generous. It not only builds its own software, but it can build yours too. Built into the system is knowledge of the `llvm/projects` directory. Any directory under `projects` that has both a `configure` script and a `Makefile` is assumed to be a project that uses the LLVM Makefile system. Building software that uses LLVM does not require the LLVM Makefile System nor even placement in the `llvm/projects` directory. However, doing so will allow your project to get up and running quickly by utilizing the built-in features that are used to compile LLVM. LLVM compiles itself using the same features of the makefile system as used for projects.

For complete details on setting up your projects configuration, simply mimic the `llvm/projects/sample` project or for further details, consult the Projects.html page.

Variable Values

To use the makefile system, you simply create a file named `Makefile` in your directory and declare values for certain variables. The variables and values that you select determine what the makefile system will do. These variables enable rules and processing in the makefile system that automatically Do The Right Thing™.

Including Makefiles

Setting variables alone is not enough. You must include into your Makefile additional files that provide the rules of the LLVM Makefile system. The various files involved are described in the sections that follow.

Makefile

Each directory to participate in the build needs to have a file named `Makefile`. This is the file first read by `make`. It has three sections:

1. Settable Variables - Required that must be set first.
2. include `$(LEVEL)/Makefile.common` - include the LLVM Makefile system.
3. Override Variables - Override variables set by the LLVM Makefile system.

Makefile.common

Every project must have a `Makefile.common` file at its top source directory. This file serves three purposes:

1. It includes the project's configuration makefile to obtain values determined by the `configure` script. This is done by including the `$(LEVEL)/Makefile.config` file.
2. It specifies any other (static) values that are needed throughout the project. Only values that are used in all or a large proportion of the project's directories should be placed here.
3. It includes the standard rules for the LLVM Makefile system, `$(LLVM_SRC_ROOT)/Makefile.rules`. This file is the "guts" of the LLVM Makefile system.

Makefile.config

Every project must have a `Makefile.config` at the top of its build directory. This file is generated by the `configure` script from the pattern provided by the `Makefile.config.in` file located at the top of the project's source directory. The contents of this file depend largely on what configuration items the project uses, however most projects can get what they need by just relying on LLVM's configuration found in `$(LLVM_OBJ_ROOT)/Makefile.config`.

Makefile.rules

This file, located at `$(LLVM_SRC_ROOT)/Makefile.rules` is the heart of the LLVM Makefile System. It provides all the logic, dependencies, and rules for building the targets supported by the system. What it does largely depends on the values of `make` variables that have been set before `Makefile.rules` is included.

Comments

User Makefiles need not have comments in them unless the construction is unusual or it does not strictly follow the rules and patterns of the LLVM makefile system. Makefile comments are invoked with the pound (#) character. The # character and any text following it, to the end of the line, are ignored by `make`.

Tutorial

This section provides some examples of the different kinds of modules you can build with the LLVM makefile system. In general, each directory you provide will build a single object although that object may be composed of additionally compiled components.

Libraries

Only a few variable definitions are needed to build a regular library. Normally, the makefile system will build all the software into a single `libname.o` (pre-linked) object. This means the library is not searchable and that the distinction between compilation units has been dissolved. Optionally, you can ask for a shared library (.so), archive library (.a) or to not have the default (relinked) library built. For example:

          LIBRARYNAME = mylib
          SHARED_LIBRARY = 1
          ARCHIVE_LIBRARY = 1
          DONT_BUILT_RELINKED = 1

says to build a library named "mylib" with both a shared library (`mylib.so`) and an archive library (`mylib.a`) version but not to build the relinked object (`mylib.o`). The contents of all the libraries produced will be the same, they are just constructed differently. Note that you normally do not need to specify the sources involved. The LLVM Makefile system will infer the source files from the contents of the source directory.

The `LOADABLE_MODULE=1` directive can be used in conjunction with `SHARED_LIBRARY=1` to indicate that the resulting shared library should be openable with the `dlopen` function and searchable with the `dlsym` function (or your operating system's equivalents). While this isn't strictly necessary on Linux and a few other platforms, it is required on systems like HP-UX and Darwin. You should use `LOADABLE_MODULE` for any shared library that you intend to be loaded into an tool via the `-load` option. See the WritingAnLLVMPass.html document for an example of why you might want to do this.

Bytecode Modules

In some situations, it is desireable to build a single bytecode module from a variety of sources, instead of an archive, shared library, or bytecode library. Bytecode modules can be specified in addition to any of the other types of libraries by defining the MODULE_NAME variable. For example:

          LIBRARYNAME = mylib
          BYTECODE_LIBRARY = 1
          MODULE_NAME = mymod

will build a module named `mymod.bc` from the sources in the directory. This module will be an aggregation of all the bytecode modules derived from the sources. The example will also build a bytecode archive containing a bytecode module for each compiled source file. The difference is subtle, but important depending on how the module or library is to be linked.

Tools

For building executable programs (tools), you must provide the name of the tool and the names of the libraries you wish to link with the tool. For example:

          TOOLNAME = mytool
          USEDLIBS = mylib
          LLVMLIBS = LLVMSupport.a LLVMSystem.a

says that we are to build a tool name `mytool` and that it requires three libraries: `mylib`, `LLVMSupport.a` and `LLVMSystem.a`.

Note that two different variables are use to indicate which libraries are linked: `USEDLIBS` and `LLVMLIBS`. This distinction is necessary to support projects. `LLVMLIBS` refers to the LLVM libraries found in the LLVM object directory. `USEDLIBS` refers to the libraries built by your project. In the case of building LLVM tools, `USEDLIBS` and `LLVMLIBS` can be used interchangeably since the "project" is LLVM itself and `USEDLIBS` refers to the same place as `LLVMLIBS`.

Also note that there are two different ways of specifying a library: with a `.a` suffix and without. Without the suffix, the entry refers to the re-linked (.o) file which will include all symbols of the library. This is useful, for example, to include all passes from a library of passes. If the `.a` suffix is used then the library is linked as a searchable library (with the `-l` option). In this case, only the symbols that are unresolved at that point will be resolved from the library, if they exist. Other (unreferenced) symbols will not be included when the `.a` syntax is used. Note that in order to use the `.a` suffix, the library in question must have been built with the `ARCHIVE_LIBRARY` option set.

JIT Tools

Many tools will want to use the JIT features of LLVM. However, getting the right set of libraries to link with is tedious, platform specific, and error prone. Additionally, the JIT has special linker switch options that it needs. Consequently, to make it easier to build tools that use the JIT, you can use a special value for the `LLVMLIBS` variable:

          TOOLNAME = my_jit_tool
          USEDLIBS = mylib
          LLVMLIBS = JIT

Using a value of `JIT` for `LLVMLIBS` tells the makefile system to construct a special value for LLVMLIBS that gives the program all the LLVM libraries needed to run the JIT. Any additional libraries needed can still be specified with `USEDLIBS`. To get a full understanding of how this changes the linker command, it is recommended that you:

          cd examples/Fibonacci
          make VERBOSE=1

By default, using `LLVMLIBS=JIT` will link in enough to support JIT code generation for the architecture on which the tool is linked. If you need additional target architectures linked in, you may specify them on the command line or in your `Makefile`. For example:

          ENABLE_X86_JIT=1
          ENABLE_SPARCV9_JIT=1
          ENALBE_PPC_JIT=1

will cause the tool to be able to generate code for all three platforms.

Targets Supported

This section describes each of the targets that can be built using the LLVM Makefile system. Any target can be invoked from any directory but not all are applicable to a given directory (e.g. "check", "dist" and "install" will always operate as if invoked from the top level directory).

Target Name | Implied Targets | Target Description
--- | --- | ---
`all` |  | Compile the software recursively. Default target.
`all-local` |  | Compile the software in the local directory only.
`check` |  | Change to the `test` directory in a project and run the test suite there.
`check-local` |  | Run a local test suite. Generally this is only defined in the `Makefile` of the project's `test` directory.
`clean` |  | Remove built objects recursively.
`clean-local` |  | Remove built objects from the local directory only.
`dist` | all | Prepare a source distribution tarball.
`dist-check` | all | Prepare a source distribution tarball and check that it builds.
`dist-clean` | clean | Clean source distribution tarball temporary files.
`install` | all | Copy built objects to installation directory.
`preconditions` | all | Check to make sure configuration and makefiles are up to date.
`printvars` | all | Prints variables defined by the makefile system (for debugging).
`tags` |  | Make C and C++ tags files for emacs and vi.
`uninstall` |  | Remove built objects from installation directory.

all (default)

When you invoke `make` with no arguments, you are implicitly instructing it to seek the "all" target (goal). This target is used for building the software recursively and will do different things in different directories. For example, in a `lib` directory, the "all" target will compile source files and generate libraries. But, in a `tools` directory, it will link libraries and generate executables.

all-local

This target is the same as all but it operates only on the current directory instead of recursively.

check

This target can be invoked from anywhere within a project's directories but always invokes the `check-local` target in the project's `test` directory, if it exists and has a `Makefile`. A warning is produced otherwise. If `TESTSUITE` is defined on the `make` command line, it will be passed down to the invocation of `make check-local` in the `test` directory. The intended usage for this is to assist in running specific suites of tests. If `TESTSUITE` is not set, the implementation of `check-local` should run all normal tests. It is up to the project to define what different values for `TESTSUTE` will do. See the TestingGuide for further details.

check-local

This target should be implemented by the `Makefile` in the project's `test` directory. It is invoked by the `check` target elsewhere. Each project is free to define the actions of `check-local` as appropriate for that project. The LLVM project itself uses dejagnu to run a suite of feature and regresson tests. Other projects may choose to use dejagnu or any other testing mechanism.

clean

This target cleans the build directory, recursively removing all things that the Makefile builds. The cleaning rules have been made guarded so they shouldn't go awry (via `rm -f $(UNSET_VARIABLE)/*` which will attempt to erase the entire directory structure.

clean-local

This target does the same thing as `clean` but only for the current (local) directory.

dist

This target builds a distribution tarball. It first builds the entire project using the `all` target and then tars up the necessary files and compresses it. The generated tarball is sufficient for a casual source distribution, but probably not for a release (see `dist-check`).

dist-check

This target does the same thing as the `dist` target but also checks the distribution tarball. The check is made by unpacking the tarball to a new directory, configuring it, building it, installing it, and then verifying that the installation results are correct (by comparing to the original build). This target can take a long time to run but should be done before a release goes out to make sure that the distributed tarball can actually be built into a working release.

dist-clean

This is a special form of the `clean` clean target. It performs a normal `clean` but also removes things pertaining to building the distribution.

install

This target finalizes shared objects and executables and copies all libraries, headers, executables and documentation to the directory given with the `--prefix` option to `configure`. When completed, the prefix directory will have everything needed to use LLVM.

The LLVM makefiles can generate complete internal documentation for all the classes by using `doxygen`. By default, this feature is not enabled because it takes a long time and generates a massive amount of data (>100MB). If you want this feature, you must configure LLVM with the --enable-doxygen switch and ensure that a modern version of doxygen (1.3.7 or later) is available in your `PATH`. You can download doxygen from here.

preconditions

This utility target checks to see if the `Makefile` in the object directory is older than the `Makefile` in the source directory and copies it if so. It also reruns the `configure` script if that needs to be done and rebuilds the `Makefile.config` file similarly. Users may overload this target to ensure that sanity checks are run before any building of targets as all the targets depend on `preconditions`.

printvars

This utility target just causes the LLVM makefiles to print out some of the makefile variables so that you can double check how things are set.

reconfigure

This utility target will force a reconfigure of LLVM or your project. It simply runs `$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)/config.status --recheck` to rerun the configuration tests and rebuild the configured files. This isn't generally useful as the makefiles will reconfigure themselves whenever its necessary.

spotless

This utility target, only available when `$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)` is not the same as `$(PROJ_SRC_ROOT)`, will completely clean the `$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)` directory by removing its content entirely and reconfiguring the directory. This returns the `$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)` directory to a completely fresh state. All content in the directory except configured files and top-level makefiles will be lost.

Use with caution.

tags

This target will generate a `TAGS` file in the top-level source directory. It is meant for use with emacs, XEmacs, or ViM. The TAGS file provides an index of symbol definitions so that the editor can jump you to the definition quickly.

uninstall

This target is the opposite of the `install` target. It removes the header, library and executable files from the installation directories. Note that the directories themselves are not removed because it is not guaranteed that LLVM is the only thing installing there (e.g. --prefix=/usr).

Variables

Variables are used to tell the LLVM Makefile System what to do and to obtain information from it. Variables are also used internally by the LLVM Makefile System. Variable names that contain only the upper case alphabetic letters and underscore are intended for use by the end user. All other variables are internal to the LLVM Makefile System and should not be relied upon nor modified. The sections below describe how to use the LLVM Makefile variables.

Control Variables

Variables listed in the table below should be set before the inclusion of `$(LEVEL)/Makefile.common`. These variables provide input to the LLVM make system that tell it what to do for the current directory.

`BUILD_ARCHIVE`
  If set to any value, causes an archive (.a) library to be built.
`BUILT_SOURCES`
  Specifies a set of source files that are generated from other source files. These sources will be built before any other target processing to ensure they are present.
`BYTECODE_LIBRARY`
  If set to any value, causes a bytecode library (.bc) to be built.
`CONFIG_FILES`
  Specifies a set of configuration files to be installed.
`DIRS`
  Specifies a set of directories, usually children of the current directory, that should also be made using the same goal. These directories will be built serially.
`DISABLE_AUTO_DEPENDENCIES`
  If set to any value, causes the makefiles to not automatically generate dependencies when running the compiler. Use of this feature is discouraged and it may be removed at a later date.
`DONT_BUILD_RELINKED`
  If set to any value, causes a relinked library (.o) not to be built. By default, libraries are built as re-linked since most LLVM libraries are needed in their entirety and re-linked libraries will be linked more quickly than equivalent archive libraries.
`ENABLE_OPTIMIZED`
  If set to any value, causes the build to generate optimized objects, libraries and executables. This alters the flags specified to the compilers and linkers. Generally debugging won't be a fun experience with an optimized build.
`ENABLE_PROFILING`
  If set to any value, causes the build to generate both optimized and profiled objects, libraries and executables. This alters the flags specified to the compilers and linkers to ensure that profile data can be collected from the tools built. Use the `gprof` tool to analyze the output from the profiled tools (`gmon.out`).
`ENABLE_ASSERTIONS`
  If set to any value, causes the build to enable assertions, even if building a release or profile build. This is slower than a release build but far faster than a debug build.
`EXPERIMENTAL_DIRS`
  Specify a set of directories that should be built, but if they fail, it should not cause the build to fail. Note that this should only be used temporarily while code is being written.
`EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE`
  Specifies the name of a single file that contains a list of the symbols to be exported by the linker. One symbol per line.
`EXPORTED_SYMBOL_LIST`
  Specifies a set of symbols to be exported by the linker.
`EXTRA_DIST`
  Specifies additional files that should be distributed with LLVM. All source files, all built sources, all Makefiles, and most documentation files will be automatically distributed. Use this variable to distribute any files that are not automatically distributed.
`KEEP_SYMBOLS`
  If set to any value, specifies that when linking executables the makefiles should retain debug symbols in the executable. Normally, symbols are stripped from the executable.
`LEVEL`(required)
  Specify the level of nesting from the top level. This variable must be set in each makefile as it is used to find the top level and thus the other makefiles.
`LIBRARYNAME`
  Specify the name of the library to be built. (Required For Libraries)
`LLVMLIBS`
  Specifies the set of libraries from the LLVM $(ObjDir) that will be linked into the tool or library.
`LOADABLE_MODULE`
  If set to any value, causes the shared library being built to also be a loadable module. Loadable modules can be opened with the dlopen() function and searched with dlsym (or the operating system's equivalent). Note that setting this variable without also setting `SHARED_LIBRARY` will have no effect.
`MODULE_NAME`
  Specifies the name of a bytecode module to be created. A bytecode module can be specified in conjunction with other kinds of library builds or by itself. It constructs from the sources a single linked bytecode file.
`OPTIONAL_DIRS`
  Specify a set of directories that may be built, if they exist, but its not an error for them not to exist.
`PARALLEL_DIRS`
  Specify a set of directories to build recursively and in parallel if the -j option was used with `make`.
`SHARED_LIBRARY`
  If set to any value, causes a shared library (.so) to be built in addition to any other kinds of libraries. Note that this option will cause all source files to be built twice: once with options for position independent code and once without. Use it only where you really need a shared library.
`SOURCES`(optional)
  Specifies the list of source files in the current directory to be built. Source files of any type may be specified (programs, documentation, config files, etc.). If not specified, the makefile system will infer the set of source files from the files present in the current directory.
`SUFFIXES`
  Specifies a set of filename suffixes that occur in suffix match rules. Only set this if your local `Makefile` specifies additional suffix match rules.
`TARGET`
  Specifies the name of the LLVM code generation target that the current directory builds. Setting this variable enables additional rules to build `.inc` files from `.td` files.
`TESTSUITE`
  Specifies the directory of tests to run in `llvm/test`.
`TOOLNAME`
  Specifies the name of the tool that the current directory should build.
`TOOL_VERBOSE`
  Implies VERBOSE and also tells each tool invoked to be verbose. This is handy when you're trying to see the sub-tools invoked by each tool invoked by the makefile. For example, this will pass `-v` to the GCC compilers which causes it to print out the command lines it uses to invoke sub-tools (compiler, assembler, linker).
`USEDLIBS`
  Specifies the list of project libraries that will be linked into the tool or library.
`VERBOSE`
  Tells the Makefile system to produce detailed output of what it is doing instead of just summary comments. This will generate a LOT of output.

Override Variables

Override variables can be used to override the default values provided by the LLVM makefile system. These variables can be set in several ways:

- In the environment (e.g. setenv, export) -- not recommended.

Readable Variables

Variables listed in the table below can be used by the user's Makefile but should not be changed. Changing the value will generally cause the build to go wrong, so don't do it.

`bindir`
  The directory into which executables will ultimately be installed. This value is derived from the `--prefix` option given to `configure`.

  The directory into which bytecode libraries will ultimately be installed. This value is derived from the `--prefix` option given to `configure`.
`ConfigureScriptFLAGS`
  Additional flags given to the `configure` script when reconfiguring.
`DistDir`
  The current directory for which a distribution copy is being made.
`Echo`
  The LLVM Makefile System output command. This provides the `llvm[n]` prefix and starts with @ so the command itself is not printed by `make`.
