Clay ---- Clay is a programming language designed for Generic Programming. Visit http://claylanguage.org for more information. Pre-requisites -------------- Clay requires LLVM to build. I recommend tracking LLVM SVN as that's what we do. The Clay build system needs CMake. Make sure you have CMake version 2.6 or later. WARNING: LLVM builds in debug mode by default. This makes the Clay compiler crawl. Configure LLVM with "--enable-optimized" for good performance. Build Clay ---------- To build Clay, first run cmake to generate the Makefiles and then run make. CMake can also build project files for IDE's such as Xcode. Look at CMake documentation for how to build those. It is recommended that Clay be built in a separate build directory. $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../ $ make The default installation directory for Clay will is /usr/local. To change the installtion path, pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/path to cmake. To install Clay run $ make install To run the test suite $ make test To compile a clay source file run $ clay test/hello.clay The generated binary $ ./a.out
