How is the LLVM toolchain built for Windows? I'm working on VS integration. Like, in Xcode, the actual *.xctoolchain bundle is built using the regular cmake files, plus using the cmake build script in tools/xcode-toolchain, what is the windows equivalent? is it literally just the stuff in tools/msbuild, or is there more to it than that? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

CMake can also generate Visual Studio project/solution files. The documentation
recommends the CMake GUI:
http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStartedVS.html
however you can also run CMake from the CMD shell if you prefer. I have
cmake –G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" –Thost=x64
..\llvm-project\llvm
in my script, running on a 64-bit Windows PC with Visual Studio 2015 (aka
version 14) installed.
I am unfamiliar with how the Visual Studio integration works, but I suspect you
need to do the above and actually build the compiler first.
HTH,

Like I said, I don't know how the integration works. Very very few people have ever touched that stuff. You could try asking the list again, with a subject line that was more descriptive; that might get the attention of people who could answer your question. Sorry I can't be more help. --paulr From: Marcus Johnson [mailto:bumblebritches57 at gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 2:26 PM To: Robinson, Paul Subject: Re: [llvm-dev] Build files That's not at all what I meant dude. I'm asking about building Clang (and friends) as a VS "ToolSet", that can be integrated into VS. that way Clang can be used as the compiler in VS. The old integration files in "llvm/tools/msbuild" don't work with VS2017, I've updated them locally, but I want to go further. On llvm.org<http://llvm.org>, there's binary releases for Windows, I'd like to change the folder layout (/bin, /usr, etc) to match MSVC's, and to actually install right into the Visual Studio folder. then we could set the PATH to the correct folder that way Clang is available from cmd.exe. tl;dr I'm talking about complete integration. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
