llc can't generate object files on Windows

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

I tried to compile a bitcode file into an object file with llc and
received an error message. First, I tried a bitcode file whose first
line was "target triple = "i686-pc-windows"". llc complained that
"target does not support generation of this file type!" Next, I tried
a bitcode file whose first line was "target triple = "i686-pc-linux"".
llc gave me the following error:

FIXME: This code needs to be updated for changes in the CodeEmitter interfaces.
In particular, this should set BufferBegin/BufferEnd/CurBufferPtr, not
deal with OutBuffer!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

Hello, Jon

LLVM currently cannot emit object files directly (this is WIP). Emit
assembler source and use gnu as to get object file.
