llvm dev - Dec 2004 - [LLVMdev] I'm almost able to build a complete tool suite of LLVM.

Hi Chris, Jeff and Reid,

Today, I was almost able to build a complete tool suite of LLVM in the MinGW 
environment. However, llvm-db and bugpoint couldn't build due to some 
non-win32 intrinsics. If we could iron these errors out, then I think we 
could tell to jeff and others, to setup a win32 VC-project to compile the 
tool suite.

Any suggestions?

Happy new year to you all.

Henrik.

llvm-db and bugpoint currently cannot be ported to Win32 because they
are built specificly with Unix-style process model, using fork() and
such.

As a result, to be compiled/ran on Win32, both llvm-db and bugpoint need
some _nontrivial_ porting work, i.e. "rewriting".  Note that they are
both filtered out in llvm/tools/Makefile at this time.  There is no
short-term plan to port either one of them, unless someone steps up to
the plate to work out the correct Win32 methods for implementing the
services those tools depend upon, which is, again, not a simple job.

For now, don't worry about building those tools, if you can build
everything else, consider that a complete Win32 build.

No, that is not the case, due to my make tried to compile them. Otherwise, I 
wouldn't notice :)

That sounds good.

Henrik.
