between the "Getting Started Quickly" and "Getting Started Slowly" sections.
:)
Removed some of the nit-picky requirements information (i.e. GNU tar and
GNU zip).
Attempted to compact the requirements information so that it is less scary.
llvm-svn: 9290
separate document that we will provide to people who request the source.
Updated the support architecture information to be a little more precise.
Added hyperlinks for all of the tools which are required for building LLVM.
This should make it easier for people to find and install these required
tools.
Italicized some of the "variables" that we use in place of absolute paths.
Added the --enable-spec2000 option to the quick start section.
Other minor changes/corrections/clarifications.
llvm-svn: 9006
Made the "Getting Started Quickly" material its own section. I think this makes
the document easier to read.
Added bars after every major section heading (to distinguish them more easily from
sub-section headings).
Renamed C front end to GCC front end, as we now support C and C++.
Updated material to reflect the new autoconf-style object root.
Added material about the llvm/runtime directory and the fact that you need to
install the GCC front end before building LLVM (before, it was optional).
llvm-svn: 9003
* Added blurb about `bugpoint'
* Fixed some grammar issues
* Added blurb about `llvm-link'
* Took out the part about the `lli debugger' which disappeared
llvm-svn: 8900
Corrected capitalization of subheadings.
Created a new subsection for compiling the C front end and moved all references
to it there.
Updated the disk space requirements to reflect the need for the binary C front
end and the optional C front end source.
Added information on unpacking the distribution to the summary section.
Moved autoconf environment variables to the autoconf section.
Changed make to gmake.
Removed some of the precise directions for unpacking the archives.
Fixed some formatting inconsistencies (headings that were not centered).
llvm-svn: 7132
Attempted to better structure and order the document.
Added more information about autoconf, the build system, and how to build LLVM.
Added directions on how to build the C front end.
Added a section on common problems and their solutions.

Fixed some small grammatical errors.
Using Netscape Composer seems to have added stuff that makes the page look
exactly the same. Bah! Curse my laziness!
