Is there a usual platform for building against?

Hi!

I was curious after stumbling over the paper, and wanted to see how well vegen performed on some small, probably vectorizable code I had laying around.

So I cloned the repo and LLVM, and to my surprise, though I tried LLVM 10, 11, 13, and nightly (on Debian bullseye x64, Fedora 35, and Ubuntu 20.04), they all failed to build vegen following the instructions. (If it's of interest, I'm happy to share the errors.)

So is there a particular set of {original compiler, built LLVM version, distro} that would be a good starting point for exploring with?

Thanks!

I talked to @ychen306 and he said he builds against LLVM 12.

@ychen306 @wraith1995 Is there an IRC channel for this project?
