## Build the Shared Library
Our goal is to build the shared libraries:
- On Linux/OSX the target library are `libtvm.so, libtvm_topi.so`
- On Linux the target library are `libtvm.so, libtvm_topi.so`
- On OSX the target library are `libtvm.dylib, libtvm_topi.dylib`

The configuration of tvm can be modified by ```config.mk```
- First copy ```make/config.mk``` to the project root, on which
any local modification will be ignored by git, then modify the according flags.
- On macOS, for some versions of XCode, you need to add ```-lc++abi``` in the LDFLAGS or you'll get link errors.
- TVM optionally depends on LLVM. LLVM is required for CPU codegen that needs LLVM.
- LLVM 4.0 or higher is needed for build with LLVM. Note that verison of LLVM from default apt may lower than 4.0.
- Since LLVM takes long time to build from source, you can download pre-built version of LLVM from

For example, set ```LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-4.0``` if you installed 4.0 package
We can then build tvm by `make`.
After we build the tvm, we can proceed to build nnvm using the following script.

make -j4
