Hi Morten,
Thanks for your progress on this subject.
I suppose that we all in the LLVM development team is interested in your project files. I think, we should come up with a place in the source tree where they could live, until we are able to generate them ourselfs by some means.
Any suggestions?
Henrik
I suppose that we all in the LLVM development team is interested in your project files. I think, we should come up with a place in the source tree where they could live, until we are able to generate them ourselfs by some means.
So far I put everything in a llvm/win32 directory with subdirectories for the different projects and their intermediate (object) files, and a 'tools' directory for bison and flex binaries. In my opinion it's not ready to commit even a preliminary version, since it won't compile with the sources which are in CVS. Once all required patches to the sources have gone in, I think the project files should be put in the repository. In the meantime, I will provide them (and a super-messy patchfile for the sources) to anyone interested. So far only TableGen and fibonacci (using the interpreter, not the x86 backend) are built.
I think it will prove difficult to generate these files, so they will have to be maintained by someone and brought up to date for releases. It's probably easier anyway, since the autoconf build system is hard to port to windows - with the project files you can just specify how you want the sources to be built with defines for the windows version without requiring changes to the unix build system.
