I've built LLVM/Clang from svn under Cygwin on Windows 7. I'd like to build on the LLVMHello pass example, however, when I try: $ cd $LLVM/lib/Transforms/Hello $ make I receive a large number of errors which start with: llvm[0]: Linking Debug+Asserts Loadable Module LLVMHello.dll /cygdrive/c/Users/Graham/home/projects/llvm_cygwin/lib/Transforms/Hello/Debug+Asserts/Hello.o: In function `runOnFunction': /cygdrive/c/Users/Graham/home/projects/llvm_cygwin/lib/Transforms/Hello/Hello.cpp:32: undefined reference to `llvm::errs()' ... I've built and ran the same example under Linux with no problems. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? -- Graham
Graham, good morning. To build LLVMHello on cygming, you should configure llvm with --enable-shared . Even with enable-shared, you might build lib/Transforms/Hello manually. (yeah, on cygming, LLVMHello should depend on tools/llvm-shlib) And, you'd be better to build with --enable-optimized. With enable-shared, llvm-shlib tends to fail with too many debug symbols. HTH, ...Takumi
Thankyou Takumi,
Without --enable-optimized I get a"File too big" error from the
linker:
...

(By the way, I have 4Gb Ram under 64-bit Windows 7, and use Cygwin's GCC
4.5.3)
If I instead use --enable-optimized, everything builds, however any
invocation of clang.exe
now halts with a segmentation fault, as shown:
clang hello.c fails:

clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can you offer a suggestion here? (I am happy to submit a bug report if
appropriate.)
