<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">CMake finds my MSVC-built clang and tries to test it. This invokes llvm-mt (the LLVM implementation of the manifest tool). This tool depends on libxml2, which isn't typically installed on Windows.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I'm told the Windows build shouldn't need to invoke llvm-mt, so this is probably due to a CMake change. Unfortunately, I don't know how far back I have to go to find a working build so that I can bisect the breaking
change. It's been a long time since I've tried a self-hosted build.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Maybe somebody changed this intentionally, and we just need to update the documentation to include libxml2 on the (already very long) list of things Windows developers have to install in order to build llvm.<o:p></o:p></p>
