llvm dev - Sep 2007 - [LLVMdev] FW: Qs about install on mingw32 (Was [llvm-announce] LLVM 2.1 Release!)

OK, so I pulled down the two MinGW32 binaries.

I bzip2 -d the two into .tar files, then tar xvf them into my directory of
choice. (C:/Prg/llvm-2.1 in this case.)

When I run the compiler over hello.c, as per the Getting Started Guide,
compilation works for both native and LLVM BC.

When I run the native hello.exe, it works.

When I try to run lli hello.bc, I get an unsatisfied DLL link error: "This
application has failed to start because pthreadGC.dll was not found."
Hunting around I can't find this DLL anywhere; where should it have come
from?

> Hi All,
> 
> LLVM 2.1 is done!  Download it here:  http://llvm.org/releases/ or
> view the release notes: http://llvm.org/releases/2.1/docs/
> ReleaseNotes.html
> 
> The LLVM 2.1 has many improvements, including three new front-ends, a
> huge reduction in -O3 compile times, a new (beta) MIPS backend, and
> many optimizer/code generator changes that allow LLVM to produce
> better code.  In addition to new features, LLVM 2.1 includes a large
> number of bug fixes found by compiling a huge number of applications,
> OS kernels, and very large open source projects.
> 
> Organizationally, the LLVM 2.1 cycle is memorable for several
> reasons.  In this release we switched from CVS to SVN, moved llvm-gcc
> to the main LLVM server (it used to be in a private repository which
> was mirrored publicly once a day), and grew the community very
> rapidly: we added many new commiters.  Another interesting metric is
> the the main LLVM repository (not counting llvm-gcc or other separate
> projects) crossed 500,000 lines of code: http://llvm.org/nightlytest/
> locgraph.php?xsize=900&ysize=600 .
> 
> One of the highlights of this release cycle was the ability for many
> of us to get together to meet face to face at the 2007 LLVM Developer
> Meeting: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/ .  If you're interested,
> many great talks about LLVM are available on that page, including a
> great section where everyone introduces themselves to the world :).
> 
> In the end, the most exciting thing about the LLVM project is seeing
> all the ways that people apply the technology and having happy
> users.  If you're currently using LLVM for nifty things (http://
> llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/Users.html) or are writing papers (http://llvm.org/
> pubs/), please let us know.  Over this release we added a number of
> interesting publications, but I am certain that we're missing some.
> If you're using LLVM please let us know - it's free advertising for
> you and your work. :)
> 
> Instead of including a list of the major features in this
> announcement as I normally do, I'll point you to the LLVM 2.1 release
> notes [ http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#whatsnew ] which
> includes the high-level items.
> 
> This release wouldn't be possible without many people in the LLVM
> community: building new features, reporting bugs, testing the pre-
> release bits, and contributing in many other ways.  Tanya deserves
> many thanks in particular for doing a great job with release
> management, which is often a thankless task.
