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?
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.
