New Revision: 265963
URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=265963&view=rev
Log:
Update getting started docs
compiler-rt is optional. We often get email from users with compiler-rt
build errors who don't actually need compiler-rt. Marking it optional
should help them avoid those potential problems.
While I'm here, update a reference to the build directory and remove an
obsolete reference to llvm-gcc. Nobody today is under the impression
that Clang depends on GCC.
