I tried the prebuilt version but that seems to have hardcoded paths to GCC or Visual Studio.

I’ve just downloaded the sources and something similar happens when I run cmake PATH<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Where PATH is the path to the LLVM sources.

I see in the “GettingStarted.rst” file that it only mentions Visual Studio in relation to the Windows operating system. I do find that slightly surprising if that is the case as Clang is claimed to be a “drop in replacement for GCC”. Although it does mention Cygwin there is no mention of MinGW and if I had Visual Studio why would I bother with Clang?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is there any way to use the prebuilt version of Clang when tool sets are not installed in the directories that the Clang developers have chosen?
