          <p>Refer to the <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#getting-started-with-llvm">LLVM Getting Started Guide</a>
             for general instructions on how to check out source.  Note that LLDB depends on having a working checkout of LLVM
             and Clang, so the first step is to download and build as described at the above URL. The same repository also
             contains LLDB.</p>
          <p><b>Git browser</b>: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/master/lldb </p>
          <p>
            For MacOSX building from Xcode, simply checkout LLDB and then build from Xcode.  The Xcode project will
            automatically detect that it is a fresh checkout, and checkout LLVM and clang automatically.  Unlike other
            platforms / build systems, it will use the following directory structure.
            <pre><tt>  
                  lldb
                  |
                  `-- llvm
                      |
                      +-- tools
                          |
                          `-- clang
                </tt>
            </pre>
            So updating your checkout will consist of updating lldb, llvm, and clang in these locations.
          </p>
          <p>
            Refer to the <a href="build.html">Build Instructions</a> for more detailed instructions on how to build for a particular
            platform / build system combination.

          <p>
            Please refer to the <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html">LLVM Developer Policy</a>
            for information about authoring and uploading a patch.  LLDB differs from the LLVM Developer Policy in
            the following respects.
            <ul>
              <li>
                Test infrastructure.  It is still important to submit tests with your patches, but LLDB uses a different
                system for tests.  Refer to the lldb/test folder on disk for examples of how to write tests.
              </li>
            </ul>
            For anything not explicitly listed here, assume that LLDB follows the LLVM policy.
