 By default LLVM and clang do not include the WASM build target, so you will have to build it yourself. Note that following these instructions will create a version of LLVM that can only build WASM targets.

+### Using the WASM compiler to perform a full build of the project
+
+The WASM_LLVM_CONFIG environment variable is used to find our recently built WASM compiler.
+This is needed to compile the example contracts insde eos/contracts folder and their respective tests.
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive
+mkdir -p eos/build && cd eos/build
+WASM_LLVM_CONFIG=~/wasm-compiler/llvm/bin/llvm-config cmake ..
+make -j4
