Building clang-extra-tools in visual studio

Clang Frontend
1

I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but I cannot seem to get clang-extra-tools to generate vcxproj files for inclusion in the LLVM.sln without making the following change to CMakeList.txt in clang/tools/extra/tools

Is there some sort of option I should be passing to CMake to get the extra tools generated?

I’m currently using the following command to generate the sln/vcxproj files

cmake -DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=ON -DBUILD_CLANG_FORMAT_VS_PLUGIN=ON -G “Visual Studio 12” …\llvm

I’m afraid LLVM_TOOL_CLANG_TOOLS_EXTRA_BUILD might be OFF.

I think it’d be a bug if you had to turn it ON when you configured from clean tree. Let me know state of your build tree.

Since add_llvm_external_project turns off LLVM_TOOL_EXTRA_BUILD after it add the extra directory, this might be a problem if you run cmake twice without removing the CMakeCache.txt file (or blowing away the entire build directory).

Where in the source tree did you check that project out? For me, I put
it under llvm/tools/clang/tools/, name it extra, and then run CMake as
normal. I don't pass any extra flags, and it generates a solution
file.
