[cfe-commits] [PATCH] getting_started.html and cmake, and questions

[John Thompson]

Question:  Why does the cmake build for Win32 only target Win32, whereas the
default make build targets all platforms?

Question:  Does the buildbot build for Win32 build for all targets (in case
I check in some platform-specific LLVM tests)?

Here's a patch for the Getting Started page to tell people how to change the
targets:

LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD
+        definition in CMakeLists.txt.</li>
     <li>The above, if successful, will have created an LLVM.sln file in the
        llvm directory.
   </ul>
May I check it in?
