Hello,
For the last couple of days I struggled to find a way to compile LLVM with Clang for ARM. Now, I tried many variations of the settings, linkers and compilers, but I was able only to build for i386 and x86_64. My machine is an i386 iMac. This is my first attempt to cross-compile something, so probably I’m doing something incredible stupid.
First, I’m not sure which compiler should I use. I tried:
CXX=“$DEVROOT/usr/bin/llvm-g+±4.2”
CC=“$DEVROOT/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2”
CXX=“$DEVROOT/usr/bin/g+±4.2”
CC=“$DEVROOT/usr/bin/gcc-4.2”
Here is my conf: …/llvm/configure --host=armv7-apple-darwin --target=armv7-apple-darwin --build=i386-apple-darwin --enable-optimized --disable-debug --disable-expensive-checks --disable-doxygen --disable-threads --enable-targets=arm
Just after I run configure, I get:

Everythings seems to be fine, it targets ARM and its cross-compiling, however, when I run “make”, it makes either a x86_64 or a i386 archive file (.a).
I’m sure I’m doing something stupid somewhere…
