Description

At the moment running make install (or ninja install) installs heaps of clang and llvm build products. I would expect that only the dxc executable, dxc headers and dxc libraries would be built and installed, i.e. what is copied here: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/blob/master/appveyor.yml

Currently the following files are installed: https://gist.github.com/6270e81dd239ccecf17e6bc4ed4f1c03

Research direction

Start with the install behavior invoked by make install and ninja install, then compare it with the files copied in appveyor.yml. Use the linked gist as the current-output reference; done means installation is limited to the dxc executable, dxc headers, and dxc libraries, with both install commands checked.
