For the impatient, a quick guide for building on *nix systems:
If you have a working C++ build environment, CMake, a current LLVM and
libconfig++ (http://hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig.html)
available, there should be no big surprises, though.
1) Make sure your system has the necessary prerequisites:
- a working C++ build environment,
- CMake,
- LLVM 3.0+ (3.2 preferred),
- libconfig++ (http://hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig.html).
2) Check out the library submodules, if you have not already:
Do not forget to make sure all the submodules are up to date:
$ cd ldc
$ git submodule update --init
3) Build and install LDC:
$ mkdir build && cd build # Out-of-source builds are recommended.
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install # Or run LDC directly from the bin/ directory.
In case the above steps do not work, please first visit the extended
documentation under the aforementioned URL.
Some Linux distributions are also packaging a recent version of LDC,
so building it manually might not be necessary.
