LLVM : 'First Function' tutorial not working for me - llvm

Question

I am working on a Ubuntu 13.10 64bit OS.
I've downloaded and built LLVM 3.4 with make.
Compiler: gcc 4.8.1
Shell: zsh
In the process of configuring it, a used the default prefix /usr/local/. I did not use any other custom options.
The source code and the build is in my home folder:
~/llvm_workdir/build
~/llvm_workdir/llvm
When I tried the First Function tutorial I faced a bunch of problems. The first problems had to do with the fact that they have made some changes in the source tree. They moved some header files (e.g. Function.h) in the IR directory. (The tutorial is for the 2.4 version of llvm.) I corrected the includes in the tutorial source code file and new errors came to life. The first category is something like these:
1]
zsh: command not found: llvm-config : I'm using the `zsh shell`, which is compatible with bash.
2]

return N >= 64 || (-(INT64_C(1)<<(N-1)) <= x && x < (INT64_C(1)<<(N-1)));**
The second category has to do with the change of signatures in some methods internally:
tut1_first_function.cpp:44:26: note: candidate is:

static IntegerType *get(LLVMContext &C, unsigned NumBits);
^
/usr/include/llvm/IR/DerivedTypes.h:58:23: note: candidate expects 2 arguments, 1 provided**
I do not know what other parameter to pass in get. I'm new in LLVM, I'm starting learning it now. I haven't found any new tutorials that correspond to the new LLVM version.
How can I solve the above problems? Is there a workaround?

Answer 1

LLVM is under active development. An attempt to apply a tutorial written to version 2.4 - which is over 5 years old - to an up-to-date version will be a lesson in frustration.
The Kaleidoscope tutorial is up-to-date and usually maintained as such with new versions, so I recommend using it instead. In particular, lesson 3 looks like it covers the topics in the page you linked.
