What is the recommended way to get a front-end to run on Windows? I have been able to successfully compile on Linux. I'm worried about documents stating all the shortcomings of the Visual Studio compiled version, but I do have mingw. Is there a guide for using mingw to compile? I thought about compiling to IR, but the documentation said the language is not stable.

Then, the same way as on linux modulo some windows-specific weirdness. If you do not have any experience with building of gcc on windows I'd suggest you to use pre-built tarballs.> I'm worried about documents stating all the shortcomings of the Visual > Studio compiled version, but I do have mingw.

I never bothered to build llvm-gcc there myself, but you can just get the Windows binaries on the download page and install those in addition to the libraries.
