How to learn compilers: LLVM Edition
since here's many compiler hackers then I'd want to ask question:<p>How do you distribute your frontend with LLVM?<p>Let's say that I have lexer, parser and emitter written in e.g Haskell (random example)<p>I emit LLVM IR and then I use LLVM to generate something other<p>but the problem is, that I need to have LLVM binaries and I'd rather avoid telling people that want to contribute to my OSS project to install LLVM because it's painful process as hell<p>So I thought about just adding "binaries" folder to my repo and put executables there, but the problem is that they're huge as hell! and also when you're on linux, then you don't need windows' binaries<p>Another problem is that LLVM installer doesnt include all LLVM components that I need (llc and wasm-ld), so I gotta compile it and tell cmake (iirc) to generate those<p>I thought about creating 2nd repo where there'd be all binaries compiles for all platforms: mac, linux, windows and after cloning my_repo1, then instruction would point to download specific binaries<p>How you people do it?
