Cheerp compiler build instructions

We advise doing an out of tree build, but it's not necessary

This is only one of the components of Cheerp. Please see https://docs.leaningtech.com/cheerp/Linux-build-instructions for instructions on how to build the whole suite.

Build LLVM

cmake -S llvm -B build -C llvm/CheerpCmakeConf.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -DCLANG_ENABLE_OPAQUE_POINTERS=OFF -G Ninja
ninja -C build
ninja -C build install

For development, consider to add the following option:

-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-DNDEBUG"
