# Prebuilt LLVM Libraries

This repo contains prebuilt LLVM 7.1.0 Libraries for Windows and Linux. 

These libraries are required by rustc_codegen_nvvm, however, LLVM is difficult to 
build, especially older versions of LLVM. Therefore, we ship prebuilt compressed 
7zip files which contain:
- `include/llvm` and `include/llvm-c`, these are required for building the LLVM shim.
- `lib/*`, these are the actual `.lib` files we tell rustc to include when building the codegen.

We do not include binaries other than llvm-config because they aren't needed for us.

The prebuilt libraries are pulled from the following locations:
- linux-x86_64: LLVM prebuilt downloads 7.1.0, Ubuntu 14.04.
- windows-x86_64: Built from source.

We do not ship mac binaries because currently we only support CUDA 11 and up, and CUDA dropped MacOS support.
