Reid Spencer 1b6ab59a9f First version of this document listing the required software. Might need
to be made platform specific. Contents reflect my Linux build environment.

<p>This document provides a list of the software packages that LLVM depends on
in order to be built successfully from CVS sources. The requirements for
building from a distribution are fewer. Items only needed for building from a
distribution are noted with an asterisk (*).</p>
<p>The table below shows the required software packages. Package is the usual
name for a given software package that LLVM depends on. Version is a list of
"known to work" versions of the package. Usage describes how LLVM uses the
package.</p>
<table>

<tr><td>autoconf*</td><td>2.59</td><td>Configuration script builder</td></tr>
<tr><td>bison</td><td>1.35</td><td>YACC compiler for various languages</td></tr>
<tr><td>cvs*</td><td>1.11</td><td>Obtaining latest CVS versions</td></tr>
<tr><td>deja-gnu</td><td>1.4.2</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
<tr><td>flex</td><td>2.5.4</td><td>LEX compiler for various languages</td></tr>
<tr><td>expect</td><td>5.38.0</td><td>Automated test suite</td></tr>
<tr><td>perl</td><td>&gt;5.6.0</td><td>Nightly tester, utilities</td></tr>
