llvm dev - Feb 2008 - [LLVMdev] Is there someone tried LLVM 2.1 on Visual Studio 2005?

Thanks for your comment.
I also tried for LLVM 2.2 but got the same compilation errors on VS2005. (I
didn't modify anything before the compilation)

I just wonder if I need bison and flex even just in the case of compiling them
on VS2005 without changing anything because the LLVM doc says "If you plan
to modify any .y or .l files, you will need to have bison and/or flex installed
where Visual Studio can find them. Otherwise, you do not need them and the
pre-generated files that come with the source tree will be used."

One of errors of mine is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------
...
7>llvmAsmParser.cpp
7>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file:
'.\llvmAsmParser.cpp': No such file or directory
...
-------------------------------------------------------
where llvmAsmParser.cpp is related to Bison so I am compelled to feel to try
installing flex/bison on my machine, anyway.

Forgive my ignorance, could you briefly tell me about that?
Thank you in advance.

I have always built it with flex and bison installed, though I believe
Chris removed our last dependence on flex a little while back, so you
may not need that.  I'm using bison 2.1 which I got from the getgnuwin32
folks.  I imagine that if you have cygwin or the like, you probably
already have everything.

You will need to have the executables in your path.

I build with VisualStudio 2k5 Professional with VStudio SP1 installed.
I typically work on Vista32 or Vista64, but have compiled on XP as well.


I don't know how up to date the LLVM docs related to Visual Studio
compilation are.  

Thanks,
Chuck.

I think that llvmc and llvm-upgrade still use flex.  Neither of those are 
really interesting on windows and both are slated to be removed for 2.3.

It would be nice to get help upgrading all the .ll files in llvm/test. 
Once that happens, we can nuke llvm-upgrade from mainline.

I have flex and bison from Cygwin installed:


$ flex --version
flex version 2.5.4

$ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 2.3

Should that work, assuming they're on the PATH? When I ran the build from
inside VS, I get some build failures, but nothing that implies that it was
looking for flex/bison to execute directly--are you supposed to run these
prior to launching the build?

The docs on "Getting Started with Visual Studio" seem a tad bit out of
date,
but I'm certainly not enough beyond n00b status to know for sure.

By the way, somebody (I think it was Chuck, but I don't remember for
certain) was asking for the BuildLog.htm from building the llvm.sln file
under VS 2005 SP1 for diagnostic purposes; right now the SLN is configured
to produce a new BuildLog for each and every one of the projects inside the
solution. I don't know who's responsible for this guy, but that's
probably
not the best way to do this.

Chuck (assuming it was you), would it not be easier for me to capture the
full results of an "msbuild llvm.sln" from the console for you?
