llvm dev - May 2012 - [LLVMdev] liblibclang.dll?

Hi,

I accidentally noticed the following line when building LLVM and Clang on
Windows 7 x64 using Mingw64:

    Linking CXX shared library ..\..\..\..\bin\liblibclang.dll

"Liblib" seems a bit overkill.  FYI.

BTW, for those who happen to search on LLVM, Clang, Windows, and Mingw64:
The v3.1 release does NOT build with Mingw64.  I believe this has been
fixed in the Subversion sources as they build without problems.  There's a
thread about this here
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2012-February/019968.html,


Cheers,
Mikael

Search the clang ml archives for discussions about this.

See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=12620 for links to several threads on
the clang mailing list over the last 2 years.

The latest change was trunk at r156809 -- it attempted to fix the cmake build
system such that it builds "libclang" (not liblib...) on both Unixes
and Windows. Does your version of Clang include this revision?

Here's the "svn info" output:

I pulled this earlier today and the problem still exists for Mingw64/Win64
- that is, I have a file named liblibclang.dll in llvm-build/bin and
liblibclang.dll.a in llvm-build/lib.
