CommandLine.cpp:189: error: `strdup' undeclared

That should work fine. I'm not familiar at all with internix, but it
appears to have a buggy header or something. From what I understand,
internix is a posix layer for windows. Have you tried compiling under
cygwin?

No, not yet.

If you grab the latest CVS sources, they should work fine with
cygwin, and will probably work better with windows in general than LLVM
1.2.

Again, I'm sorry that I don't know more about this and why <cstring>
apparently doesn't have strdup, it seems really odd. If <cstring> doesn't
work, you could try <string.h> explicitly, but it would be much better to
use cygwin if you can.

As far as I've investigated, it seems more clear to me, that it is the SDK of Interix that is buggy, because, if I includes free from <stdlib.h> and references it in a small test program, the compiler doesn't complain. The same doesn't apply for strdup included from <string.h>, even though it seems to be in the standard include path for GCC (/usr/include).

I'll give LLVM version 1.2 a try before moving on with the latest CVS sources.

Is the patch you send to me still valid though?

Well, the patch adds #include <cstring> to CommandLine.cpp, so you
should try the patch first. If it does not work, then the Interix SDK
<cstring> is not a fully complete substitue for <string.h>, which it
should be, then you may have to manually try changing the <cstring> to
<string.h> and go from there.

If that is the case, you may encounter other problems elsewhere in the
source code that may also require <string.h> in place of <cstring> ...

Hope that helps.
