Rust's build system is now set up to manage the LLVM build
automatically. There are two reasons for this: 1) building LLVM
correctly is a consistent obstacle for newcomers, and 2) we're going to
be carrying some patches to LLVM for a while to support split stacks. So
now the build process is just ./configure && make. Nice. For those who
still want to use their own LLVM configure provides an --llvm-root option.
The remote for our LLVM submodule is located here:
https://github.com/brson/llvm. Hopefully, this will just be a temporary
location until we finish the work on split stacks, at which point we can
use the official git repo.
As part of this transition I recommend manually reconfiguring your Rust
build. If you don't, the build will continue to use its existing LLVM
installation, and will break mysteriously some day.
I will be updated the instructions on the wiki shortly.
Regards,
Brian
