Except... I can't find llvm on my system. 'locate llvm' doesn't return anything, and neither does spotlight. I'm assuming that XCode 3.0 puts it somewhere that I haven't thought to look at yet, but if someone already knows where it is (and if its name got changed), that would be handy.

LLVM on Leopard is not an end-user or developer technology. That's why you're not finding it.


On the other hand, I've found that LLVM is one of the easiest, most straightforward Open Source projects that I've found when it comes to building it straight from Subversion.

To check out and build LLVM for debugging straight from Subversion:

[Projects]% svn checkout http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
[Projects]% mkdir build
[Projects]% pushd build
[Projects/build]% ../llvm/configure --enable-targets=host-only
[Projects/build]% make -j 2


(Note: I've only done the above on Leopard.) You can also use a packaged distribution from <http://llvm.org/>; LLVM 2.1 was just released.

One other hint: LLVM is designed such that it can handle parallel builds, so do a "make -j X" where X is the number of CPUs you have. When doing the above on my 1st-generation 2GHz MacBook Pro, a from- scratch "make -j 2" only takes about 5 minutes.
