     4== Installing == 
    45The LLVM backend is now included in GHC HEAD. Just grab the darcs HEAD version of GHC and build it. The backend now also supports all modes that GHC can be built in, except perhaps -dynamic which hasn't been tested yet, so you shouldn't need to change your build.mk file either (you used to have disabled an optimisation called tables-next-to-code, but the LLVM backend supports that now).

     9== Using ==

     11Once built you can check that you have the LLVM backend GHC will support these extra options: 
     12 
     13  * ''--info'' - Now will report that it has the llvm backend 
     14  * ''-fllvm'' - Compile code using the llvm backend 
     15  * ''-ddump-llvm' - Dumps the llvm IR while compiling 
     16  * ''-pgm_la'' - The program to use as the llvm assembler 
     17  * ''-pgm_lo'' - The program to use as the llvm optimiser 
     18  * ''-pgm_lc'' - The program to use as the llvm compiler 
     19  * ''-opt_la'' - Extra options to pass to the llvm assembler 
     20  * ''-opt_lo'' - Extra options to pass to the llvm optimiser 
     21  * ''-opt_lc'' - Extra options to pass to the llvm compiler
