<h1>Building and Installing Polly</h1>
You can build Polly with <a href="https://cmake.org/">cmake</a> and your preferred geneator (e.g. Ninja, make, Visual Studio, etc.).
<h3 id="source">Get the code</h3>
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
</pre>
You can also get a shallow clone by running:
<pre>
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
</pre>
<h3 id="build">Build Polly</h3>
<pre>
mkdir build && cd build
cmake '-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang;polly' ../llvm
cmake --build .
</pre>
You can also pass arguments to cmake to specify a particular generator (e.g. <code>-G Ninja</code>) or the build type (<code>-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release</code>).
If you just want to play around with Polly, it is recommended to do a Release+Assert build by passing
<code>-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON</code>.
<h3>Test Polly</h3>
To test Polly, you can run
<pre>cmake --build . --target check-polly</pre>
<h3>Using Polly</h3>
Suppose that you want to compile a program hello.c using Polly.
To compile it with Polly (in the build folder), you can run:
<pre>
bin/clang -O3 -mllvm -polly hello.c
</pre>
<h3> Troubleshooting</h3>
<p>
If you run out of memory when building with Ninja, try lowering the concurrency of Ninja (e.g. <code> ninja -j 2 </code>).
More tips and tricks to building and using LLVM can be found <a href="https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#common-problems">here</a>.
