llvm dev - Sep 2015 - Building clang in llvm-3.7 on Linux with RT support enabled

Thanks!  I'm working on a modified build now.

Out of curiosity: is cmake still the preferred way to build on Linux?  You
mentioned that the doc is out-of-date, so I thought perhaps there might be a
newer way to do it.

Thank you again,

David

We are actively working toward depreciating the autoconf build system in favor
of CMake on all platforms, so it is the preferred way to build LLVM.

I imagine if you look at the CMake scripts relating to the blocks runtime from
before r154059, that will probably give you a good start on getting the runtime
working now. If you end up with patches that make this work for you please share
them as there are probably other people that will benefit from this too.

Thanks,

Thanks!  It turns out that GNUstep's version of libobjc2 has the blocks code
in it, so I should be able to pick it up from there.  I think I'm thus all
set, but I will let you guys know if I end up creating a working patch for clang
that adds blocks on Linux via cmake.

Thank you again for the friendly support,

David
