We recently reverted a patch that automatically set the rpath on OpenMP executables. This was used because the `libomptarget.so` library is only expected to work with the same version of compiler that will be using it. This patch adds some documentation for how to get similar behaviour as before using a clang configuration file. Reviewed By: jdoerfert Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D147943
OpenMP LLVM Documentation
==================
OpenMP LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.
If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
make
$BROWSER <build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/index.html
The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/Foo.html` <->
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`llvm/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing
documentation very fast and includes examples of the most important
reStructuredText markup syntax.
Manpage Output
===============
Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
make
man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1
The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
