### Building torch-mlir in-tree
The following command generates configuration files to build the project *in-tree*, that is, using llvm/llvm-project as the main build. This will build LLVM as well as torch-mlir and its subprojects.

On Windows, use the "Developer PowerShell for Visual Studio" to ensure that the compiler and linker binaries are in the `PATH` variable.

The following additional quality of life flags can be used to reduce build time:
* Enabling clang on Linux
```shell
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
```
* Enabling ccache:
```shell
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache

Be aware that the installed version of LLVM needs in general to match the committed version in `externals/llvm-project`. Using a different version may or may not work.

## Setup Python Environment to export the built Python packages
### Linux
```shell
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/build/tools/torch-mlir/python_packages/torch_mlir:`pwd`/examples
```
### Windows PowerShell
```shell
$env:PYTHONPATH = "$PWD/build/tools/torch-mlir/python_packages/torch_mlir;$PWD/examples"

## Testing MLIR output in various dialects
To test the compiler's output to the different MLIR dialects, you can use the example `examples/torchscript_resnet18_all_output_types.py`.
Make sure you have activated the virtualenv and set the `PYTHONPATH` above:
