[cfe-dev] Newbie: Build Problem

[Chris Hobbs]

Carefully following the instructions on the clang web page:

svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
cd llvm/tools/
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
cd ..
./configure
make

I encountered the following build errors:

make[4]: Entering directory
`/home/chobbs/clang/llvm/tools/clang/lib/Frontend'
llvm[4]: Compiling TextDiagnosticPrinter.cpp for Debug build
TextDiagnosticPrinter.cpp: In member function ‘void

etc.

In case it's important, here is the first section of configure.log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

==========begin config.log

It was created by llvm configure 2.7svn, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.60.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

===========etc. End of first section of config.log

I have scanned the mailing lists looking for any reference to this
problem without success (although I may easily have missed something).
It doesn't appear just to be a misspelling of "Colour" either :-)

Any thoughts?
