To add to this, DSA is in the poolalloc project as Bob states above.  We 
regularly use DSA on Mac OS X and Linux, but I don't know if it will 
work on Cygwin.  Chances are good that any problem you encounter will be 
something that can be fixed using autoconf (i.e., it will be API 
differences between Cygwin and Mac OS/Linux that will be easy to fix).

So, if you can't get DSA compiled for some reason, please email the list 
or file a bug report.  Having DSA working on more platforms would be nice.

Thanks Bob and John for the response. I am having problems building poolalloc
with my MinGW and gcc 4.4.0 setup. Running make in the poolalloc directory
results in a bunch of "undefined reference to ..." link errors
building Release/lib/LLVMDataStructure.dll. I looked at the command line for
this link and found that there are no libraries included with "-l..."
options even though there are a bunch of library path options with
"-L...". The first few errors are:

 

c:/llvm/llvm-2.6/poolalloc/lib/DSA/Release/Basic.o:Basic.cpp:(.text+0x96):
undefined reference to `llvm::PassInfo::registerPass()'
c:/llvm/llvm-2.6/poolalloc/lib/DSA/Release/Basic.o:Basic.cpp:(.text+0xde):
undefined reference to `llvm::TargetData::ID'
c:/llvm/llvm-2.6/poolalloc/lib/DSA/Release/Basic.o:Basic.cpp:(.text+0xe3):
undefined reference to `llvm::Pass::lookupPassInfo(int)'
c:/llvm/llvm-2.6/poolalloc/lib/DSA/Release/Basic.o:Basic.cpp:(.text+0x11a):
undefined reference to `llvm::Type::getInt8Ty(llvm::LLVMContext&)'
c:/llvm/llvm-2.6/poolalloc/lib/DSA/Release/Basic.o:Basic.cpp:(.text+0x12a):
undefined reference to `llvm::PointerType::get(llvm::Type const*, unsigned
int)'


After trying to understand Makefile.rules in the llvm directory I tried using
"make LOADABLE_MODULE=1" and this time the command line includes:

 

     -lffi -lpsapi -limagehlp -lm 


but I still get the undefined references. It looks like the correct
"-l..." option is not being generated. I'm guessing this is as you
(John) think a configure problem, but being currently a Windows developer I just
don't know enough about it to debug.

 

I am only interested in LLVM because of DSA which I learned about from the
Lattner et. al PLDI paper. It would be nice if I could get this to work. Any
help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Is the build failing when building the DSA library (poolalloc/lib/DSA)?  
It looks like the poolalloc build system can't find the LLVM libraries 
that it needs to use for linking.

I have a couple of questions whose answers will help verify my theory:

1) What are the pathnames to your LLVM source tree (i.e., where you put 
the LLVM source code) and your LLVM object tree (i.e., the directory in 
which you the LLVM configure script)?

2) In Makefile.common in the poolalloc object tree (the place where 
you're compiling poolalloc), what are the LLVM_SRC_ROOT and 
LLVM_OBJ_ROOT variables set to?  They should match the pathnames given 
for the LLVM source tree and LLVM object tree above.

3) Did you compile LLVM first, and if so, did you do a Debug build or a 
Release build?  The poolalloc build system assumes that LLVM was built 
as the same type of build, so if you do a Debug build of LLVM, you need 
to do a Debug build of poolalloc, too.

Hrm... John, is poolalloc a loadable module?

If yes, then it won't work on cygwin/mingw - no dynamic linking there,
one needs to link the stuff into opt manualy.
