llvm dev - Feb 2008 - [LLVMdev] LLVM Win32 Issue

Hello all,

I'm trying to bring an LLVM-based project that is working on Linux up
on Win32.  I am having problems with llvm::ExecutionEngine::create
returning a NULL.  I traced it to these lines:

  // Unless the interpreter was explicitly selected, try making a JIT.
  if (!ForceInterpreter && JITCtor)
    EE = JITCtor(MP, ErrorStr);

  // If we can't make a JIT, make an interpreter instead.
  if (EE == 0 && InterpCtor)
    EE = InterpCtor(MP, ErrorStr);

JITCtor and InterpCtor are both NULL, so it's obvious why I'm getting
back a NULL execution engine.  I am pretty sure it's because I'm
missing a few llvm .lib or .obj files.  What is the set of llvm object
files needed at link time for Win32 on X86 JIT?

Thanks very much for any help,

Aaron

You'll need to link in x86.lib as generated from the VStudio project.

I had trouble convincing VStudio's linker to keep the relevant code
around, so did this in the app I work on:

void
LLVMCompiledProgram::linkerTrick()
{
    llvm::Module staticModule("staticModule");
    std::string staticString;
    llvm::X86_32TargetMachine staticMachine(staticModule, staticString);
}

Which I called from somewhere real.

Chuck.

This is what I use on MinGW. It is for 2.1. I hope 2.2 is similar:


LIBFILES = $(LLVM_LIB_PATH)LLVMX86.o \
	$(LLVM_LIB_PATH)LLVMExecutionEngine.o \
	$(LLVM_LIB_PATH)LLVMJIT.o \
	-lLLVMAsmParser \
	-lLLVMSelectionDAG \
	-lLLVMCodeGen \
	-lLLVMScalarOpts \
	-lLLVMTransformUtils \
	-lLLVMAnalysis  \
	-lLLVMTarget \
	-lLLVMCore \
	-lLLVMSupport \
	-lLLVMSystem \
	-lpsapi \
	-ldbghelp

If you are on VS, .o is .obj and -lLLVMWhatever is Whatever.lib.

If you still have problems, examine the commands that are executed for
building some example (examples/Fibonacci/fibonacci.cpp for instance).

You can use llvm-config --libs. It will tell you how to link llvm  
libraries into your app.
