[llvm-dev] Errors in configuration for LLVM with CMake GUI

I probably need GCC for Git bash.  And the one I have is MinGW's GCC, which
is the one for Windows.  I don't know why CMake is trying to find Linux
headers.  Hopefully someone who knows better what to do will weigh in here.

@Jonathan Goodwin<mailto:jondgoodwin at gmail.com> , are you sure you
didn't have to tell it where the header files for Windows are?  If I need to
specify the paths to those headers, how do I do it?

I checked your CMakeError.log again. The .h include files it is marking as
missing are not LLVM include files, but are OS-related (e.g., malloc/malloc.h),
and in some cases appear to be potentially Linux ones (dlfcn.h, sys/ioctl,
malloc_np.h). I can't imagine why your build might be looking for Linux as
opposed to Windows include files. That could be a clue to your problem.

You said you installed the latest version of GCC before this attempt. This
confuses me further, since you are using Visual Studio to build with, and that
makes no use of GCC. In fact, honestly I am wondering if your GCC implementation
libraries are somehow in your search path wrt environment variables, and your
build is actually trying to use the GNU/Linux header files rather than the VS
Windows header files, which would certainly blow it up. Again, I am no expert
here, so I don't have a definite answer, but based on what little I know,
this setup doesn't sound safe. Maybe get rid of GCC completely, as I am not
sure when/how you would even use it on the Windows side.

Similarly, I don't believe Perl has anything to do with this either, as
neither CMake nor VS make any use of it. But I can't imagine it causing any
problems for you to have it.

I don't know anything about Backtrace, Libomp, Compiler-RT, so I cannot help
you there. As we have discussed before, the source for clang and lld go into the
llvm source folder's "tools" folder by those names. If they are
there, after the configure step of the CMake-Gui, options will automatically
appear for both clang and lld. You will want to mouse click the checkbox next to
CLANG_BUILD_TOOLS and LLD_BUILD_TOOLS prior to hitting the generate button.

Sorry I don't know more than that, but hopefully that will help some ... and
then others can chime in if they know more about this than me.

I'd like to know how I can get this to work.  How do I tell it where to find
Backtrace, Libomp, Compiler-RT, LLD and Clang?  And where exactly is Backtrace?
I copy-pasted the locations for the stuff I checked out for LLVM, so I'm not
really sure where the stuff I need to put into CMake for Compiler-RT, Backtrace
and Libomp is (it's where it should be, that's all I know).
