Bug Description

Binary package hint: llvm

llvm-config ubuntu from llvm-2.5 return false include directory switch.

tce-general@jaunty:~$ llvm-config --includedir
/usr/include/llvm

Should be
tce-general@jaunty:~$ llvm-config --includedir
/usr/include

All llvm includes are ought to be included with llvm prefix (e.g. #include <llvm/Support/Debug.h>). That is how llvm developers also does code for the project.

This is also required by llvm-gcc if it is wanted to be compiled from sources with pre installed llvm package (this feature will be soon in llvm trunk and will be included in llvm-2.7 release). Currently llvm-gcc requires built llvm source tree (or llvm includes and libs installed with the same prefix) for compiling it.

The problem of compiling llvm-gcc from sources might not be fixed even with this change. I think the easiest way to allow compiling llvm-gcc from sources with the libllvm installed from Ubuntu is to add a symbolic link "include/llvm -> /usr/include/llvm" to the llvm-config --prefix (/usr/lib/llvm). This seemed to fix it for me.

This kind of situation of wanting to compile llvm-gcc from sources with Ubuntu-installed LLVM is a realistic case for our project (http://tce.cs.tut.fi) where we use LLVM as is, but need to recompile llvm-gcc as a cross compiler. Luckily, Clang should work out-of-the-box in the future.

This bug was fixed in the package llvm - 2.7~svn20100330-0ubuntu2

---------------
llvm (2.7~svn20100330-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Set llvm-config's include directory to /usr/include. LP: #431313.
  * Don't link libllvm2.7 with -lbfd. libopagent1 is properly built.
    Avoiding a direct versioned dependency on binutils.
  * 0003-Debian-version-info-and-bugreport.patch: Update for the branch.
  * Don't continue the build when patches fail to apply.
