Okay, I'll go with a stable Clang like v3.3. Have to build it myself, though, as Debian comes with v3.0. No, I didn't try using libstdc++. I'll give it a shot. The machine is going to be turned on 24/7 until it dies from old age, so I don't know if it is worth scheduling in a special manner. The worst part is linking as I cannot use Gold because I get an error about an

Note that the libstdc++ on OS X (4.2) is probably too old to use c++11, which is

Hi Dmitri, I am not using any kind of cache (didn't even know of ccache). I have now installed ccache. Perhaps ccache should be mentioned in the buildbot document so that every buildbot owner knows about it? It is currently running Arch Linux ARM. if there are good reasons to switch to something else, I'll be happy to do that, although I am generally very happy about Arch Linux.

I finally got it to work - and my ODROID-XU is now a passive member of the LLVM builder society for the next week or so, until it has proven itself (it monitors changes to the SVN repository and builds in my end without bothering anyone at LLVM.org about its findings). I did write up a "short" treatise on how to do it, in case anybody needs to do this sometime in the future. I expect

Hi, Here's the final, confirmed working version of my Windows guide for how to set up a MinGW buildbot slave. Please consider to include it in the documentation on the LLVM website. Basically, it saves the newcoming Windows user about two or three days of experimentation to get it all working. I think those days are important as many people balk at spending days on figuring out how to get

Hi guys, I have this ODROID XU (quad-core ARMv7 Cortex A15 1,6 GHz) box that I want to make available to the LLVM project. I can see that LLVM already has an ARMv7 Cortex A9 system doing Clang, but how should this box be used, if at all? We're talking a long-term commitment within the realm of being a buildbot slave. It builds LLVM in about 40 minutes, excluding the test suite.

A quick question while I am adding a tiny section on ccache to the HowToAddABuilder document: Why do you set CCACHE_CPP2 to yes? From reading the manual, I get the impression that this is much slower than the default and that it should only be used with tricky compilers or when debugging. Is Clang such a tricky compiler? If so, I suppose Clang should be fixed, not the ccache configuration. --

Yes, ARM normally runs as a little-endian and it is a 32-bit CPU. It CAN be configured to be a big-endian system, but that requires hardware support as far as I know. I do have an old, slow Mac Mini G4 PowerPC (big-endian) that I could hook up as a builder too. I was thinking of it the moment you mentioned big endian. I actually bought it for testing C++ code on because big-endian machines are

I'll use a redirection to the new article then. Did you try out the .htaccess thingy we talked about on LLVM.org?

Thanks for spotting those errors! Fixed. If you feel that this doc should be part of the LLVM documentation, perhaps in a revised form, just let me know. I am willing to convert it into reST and also to go through a peer review, but I simply cannot spend hundreds of hours munging about, rewriting, and retesting over and over as I am already busy on other documentation and other sub-projects.

Hi, I am battling what seems to be an endless list of issues with setting up a Windows build slave. This time, my problem is that the buildbot master tries to run configure. I see two ways out of this: 1. Let the [censored] system have its way and configure the build slave so that it is a Cygwin script that launches the build slave on the build machine. 2. Convince zorg to use CMake
