Nobody is proposing that LLVM moves off cmake, and nobody is proposing anything that's causing people using cmake more work.</div><div><br></div><div>At the LLVM conference, I gave a lightning talk [1] about using GN [2] to build LLVM and clang. cmake is great for many use cases, but in my opinion local day-to-day development isn't one of them. So I wrote GN build files for LLVM and clang, enough to make `ninja check-llvm check-clang check-lld` build everything needed for these three test suites and that all tests pass. This works on Linux, Mac, Win hosts targeting X86, ARM, AArch64. You can see them at [3].</div><div><br></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I'm in favor of including the gn build files. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Aside: build of gn itself failed for me on Ubuntu 14, link errors related to unsupported relocations, AFAICT this is just an incompatibility between the Debian filesystem downloaded and Ubuntu 14.
