llvm dev - Apr 2008 - [LLVMdev] Build failure: on Linux /x86

Hi,
  I tried building LLVM with the downloaded sources. I am building it with
gcc4.3.

After getting configured successfully, and running 'make', build fails
with
the following message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/guest/SRC/llvm-2.1/lib/System'
llvm[1]: Compiling DynamicLibrary.cpp for Release build
DynamicLibrary.cpp: In static member function âstatic void*
llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::SearchForAddressOfSymbol(const char*)â:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/guest//SRC/llvm-2.1/lib/System'

Please let me know what may be the wrong here.

Thanks,

is this LLVM 2.1?  Why not build the more recent 2.2?

Ciao,

I don't think it is possible to build llvm 2.2 using gcc-4.3.  Try using
gcc-4.2 or earlier.  I'm told that LLVM from svn builds with gcc-4.3.

I hope this helps,

Duncan.
