llvm dev - Jan 2008 - [LLVMdev] HOWTO on LLVM with ....

Is there an explicit document describing how to do LLVM with Cygwin? Or with
Solaris Dev Express?

 

And is LLVM considered a “safe” replacement for gcc on MacOS? In other
words, if I’m doing some ObjC and C/C++ on the MacOS, if I drop LLVM in, is
it going to create some strange kinds of heartache later on?

No, not really. There are some docs on mingw and LLVM (see mailing  
list and the wiki) and some posts about cygwin on the mailing list.  
Nothing official for either.

I'm not sure what you mean by heartache. LLVM is used to compile many  
programs (see the Nightly Tester for a list of programs and  
benchmarks that are compiled every night). The best thing you can do  
is try it out and see how it works for you. If you did happen to come  
across a bug, the advantage of LLVM is that they usually get fixed  
very quickly.

Hey Ted,

I managed to get LLVM and clang to compile and run on Nexenta
(OpenSolaris with GNU tools). llvm-gcc was a pain and I didn't have time
to set up a proper config/build process for it. Check here:

http://www.nabble.com/LLVM-builds-on-x86-64-Solaris-td13844820.html

I sent Chris Lattner a patch file with a few dozen changes for
clang/LLVM a few weeks back. I don't think they made it into the code
base yet, but there isn't much demand for LLVM on OpenSolaris ;) 

I could send you the patch file if you really need it, or maybe Chris
still has it. Clang won't generate code for much right now and llvm-gcc
isn't easy to get running, but it can be done.

Anyways, if it can be done on Nexenta, I imagine it can be done for
OpenSolaris Dev Express.

Thanks,
K.Wilson
