[LLVMdev] Re: LLVM Visual Studio Project files

[Jeff Cohen]

I have problems getting the GNU tools to execute properly.  I installed
bison, sed, and flex from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net as suggested in the
README.  The installers for these packages did not want to put them in
the llvm/win32/{tools,share} directory, which is unfortunately where the
project files expect them to be.  I copied the files manually to these
directories, but bison still refuses to work.  I get:

..\tools\bison: m4: No such file or directory

m4.exe is present in the same directory as bison.  I don't know where
bison expects to find it.  I know where it would expect to find it on
Unix, but that directory does not exist on a Windows system. Yes, m4.exe
is in the path, but that's not good enough for bison.  It's also present
where their installer put it; that's not good enough either. 

Sigh... this is precisely why I hate using GNU software under Windows,
because gotchas like this keep happening.  I suppose I can always build
my own binaries from the sources; that would solve the problem if
nothing else will...  once I figure out how bison locates m4...  but not
tonight.
