There are two ways to build flang. The first method is to build it at the same
time that you build all of the projects on which it depends. This is called
building in tree. The second method is to first do an in tree build to create
-all of the projects on which flang depends, and then only build the flang code
-itself. This is called building standalone. Building standalone has the
-advantage of being smaller and faster. Once you create the base build and base
-install areas, you can create multiple standalone builds using them.

Note that instructions for building LLVM can be found at
https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
+All of the example below use GCC as the C/C++ compilers and ninja as the build
+tool.

### Building flang in tree
Building flang in tree means building flang along with all of the projects on
-which it depends. These projects include mlir, clang, flang, and compiler-rt.
-Note that compiler-rt is only needed to access libraries that support 16 bit
-floating point numbers. It's not needed to run the automated tests.
+which it depends. These projects include mlir, clang, flang, openmp, and
+compiler-rt. Note that compiler-rt is only needed to access libraries that
+support 16 bit floating point numbers. It's not needed to run the automated
+tests. You can use several different C++ compilers for most of the build,
+includig GNU and clang. But building compiler-rt requres using the clang
+compiler built in the initial part of the build.
+
+I use the following directory structure. I create a root directory for the
+cloned and built files. Under that root directory, I clone the source code
+into a directory called llvm-project. In the course of the build, I also
+create subdirectories under the root directory called build (holds most of
+the built files), install (holds the installed files, and compiler-rt (holds
+the result of building compiler-rt).
Here's a complete set of commands to clone all of the necessary source and do
the build.
