| Re: [cdt-dev] llvm build support on Windows |

I'm still trying to figure out how to get clang to work at all on Windows. There are no libc or libstdc++ headers included, so presumably I need to pull in some combination of mingw and/or cygwin for this.
At the very least I should be able to update the documentation a bit on this when I finally get things to work.

It's possible that it never really worked well on Windows. I also think the integration should just be about LLVM + Clang. The other combinations add more to the confusion and I think using the GCC front-end was a stop gap solution until Clang became more mature.
I agree that supporting LLVM+Clang installed with the installer would be the best! If you need to query the registry, you can look at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.Cygwin for an example.

Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] llvm build support on Windows I spent some time yesterday trying to familiarize myself with the code, but got confused with all the different variants of llvm + gcc + clang + mingw + cygwin. For some reason, I cannot get the CDT new project wizard to consider the LLVM toolchain to be "supported" on my machine, and it looks like it is the toolchain's "target platform" which is considered "not compatible". That was about as far as I got yesterday.
I've managed to get things to work on Linux, but do we have any idea about how much of this stuff is expected to work on Windows? One use-case I'd like to address is when the user just has LLVM+Clang installed (using LLVM:s own windows installer) and no
mingw/cygwin, and automatically detect the LLVM installation using the registry.
Getting lldb to work out-of-the-box would also be very nice.

BTW, with the new Core Build, I’m getting away with including clang as a GCC toolchain. Seems to be very comparable in every way. I wonder if that’s a simplification we can make for managed build too.
Anyway, as M-A said, any love here would be appreciated :).
