[llvm-dev] Updating release docs and minimal tools
Folks, I'm in the process of updating this page: http://llvm.org/docs/HowToReleaseLLVM.html which had its last review in the middle ages. In particular, I'm removing "dragonegg" from the list of requirements, changing the "build" instructions to use the test-release script (by pointing it to the right doc [1]), and updating the list of requirements. CMake is now required to be 3.4.3 for *all* platforms, and Ninja is best if 1.5+ (but not required). That's the easy part. But I'm not sure about the compiler version... Some of the versions cite gcc 3.4.5 in mingw, which I find hard to believe, given the recent c++11 additions. It also doesn't mention MSVC or Clang at all, which is a serious lack of information. Since I haven't been paying that much attention to the progress (and my minimum version is GCC 4.8), I'd like for people to chime in on which versions work where. The versions used to matter across arches because of basic support, but now, all of that is gone in GCC, and we only have MSVC to worry about. Last I remember, Linux (all arches) minimum was 4.7.2, though there may be some newer developments requiring 4.8.2. I believe Clang 3.6 was once the minimum on all arches and OSs, but this may also have changed. MSVC was once 2012 but may recently have changed to allow more C++11 goodness, and I have no idea about Mingw. Also, is there *any* pre-GPLv3 GCC in Mac or BSD that can compile Clang at this day and age? Please, let me know and I'll update the doc to the appropriate values. cheers, --renato [1] http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseProcess.html
