One observation I have for LLVM and Clang that even though I have installed them directly using "apt-get install" ; the build-script looks for the SRC_ROOT/llvm and llvm/tools/clang folders. Also the build-script runs the build on top of these folders.
I understand if we have system installed dependencies then those should be used instead of the building it from source; please correct me if I am wrong here.
PS: As of now I am building using -m option, the build command is: ./utils/build-script -m -R
Thanks,

Thanks John, for the response.
We have a patch added already for ppc64 support at llvm, however still the failures seen,
Did you change Clang?
John.
I will try to opt for 2nd option and see if that helps.
Thanks,
Meghali

Hi,
I have been working towards getting the swift source code built on my power (ppc64le) platform on Ubuntu16.04 OS.
I am observing build issues and looking for some help here. Please redirect me if this is not the right place for these questions.
I would like to understand the pre-requisites and the hardware configurations required to build this language.
The error I am getting look like memory issues as the process is being killed abruptly. I am attaching the log herewith for reference.
I don't see anything like that in the log. It looks like an ordinary compiler error relating to our custom calling convention.
You need to either
1. implement swiftcc in LLVM's ppc64 backend and then teach Clang that it's legal there or
2. configure Swift to not try to use it.
In the short term, I suspect that (2) is the right approach. Graydon was at least thinking about doing some work recently that would be aimed at making it easier to do this kind of configuration; CC'ing him explicitly to see if there's been progress there.
John.
