llvm dev - Mar 2011 - [LLVMdev] Building LLVM on MinGW32 / Windows 7 Professional x64

When I try to compile LLVM, a dialog pops up halfway through the process:
"tblgen.exe has stopped working" and the build quits.

I would really appreciate a binary pack for llvm-as, llc, etc.

Specs:

GCC 4.5.2
MinGW-Get 0.1-alpha-5.1
Windows 7 Professional x64

Steps:

Install MinGW (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110211/
).

Open Start -> Programs -> MinGW -> MinGW Shell.

Run mingw-get install binutils.

Run mingw-get install gcc.

Download LLVM-GCC Front End Binaries for Mingw32/x86 (
http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#2.8).

Move llvm-gcc*.tar.bz2 to C:\MinGW.

Run bunzip2 llvm-*.bz2

Run tar xvf llvm-*.tar

Install msysGit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/).

Command Prompt:

cd C:\Users\andrew\Desktop

git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git

MinGW Shell:

cd c:/users/andrew/desktop

./configure

make

...

A dialog pops up: "tblgen.exe has stopped working"

make[1]: Building Intrinsics.gen.tmp from Intrinsics.td
make[1]: ***
[/c/users/andrew/desktop/src/llvm/lib/VMCore/Debug+Asserts/Intrinics.gen.tmp]
Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/users/andrew/desktop/src/llvm/lib/VMCore'
make: *** [all] Error 1

Close program

Cheers,

indeed windows is the only platform for which the LLVM core tools like llvm-as,
llc etc are not provided in the binary distribution.  I think it would be better
if they were included.

Ciao, Duncan.

The only binary distribution related to LLVM 2.8 and Windows on the
Download page is "LLVM-GCC 4.2 Front End Binaries for Mingw32/x86". It
doesn't include llvm-as & co. but the other LLVM-GCC binary
distributions doesn't either (I checked LLVM-GCC 4.2 Front End Binaries
for Linux/x86_64).

Looks like tablegen was miscompiled by your system gcc. Try other version.
