[LLVMdev] Re: LLVM Visual Studio Project files

[Morten Ofstad]

First of all, I've been working at the university for a few days, so I 
haven't read my hue.no email -- sorry I wasn't there to help when you 
tried to use my project files. But it seems it turned out well, thanks a 
lot to Jeff Cohen for cleaning up my mess!

First of all, the gnu tools -- I copied them into the llvm/win32 
directory from the original (default) installation location because I 
did not want any absolute paths in the project files. I also don't want 
the project to pull in any old flex or bison along the path, since I 
have cygwin in my path. The readme.txt is missing some details on how to 
install these tools because the first archive I sent to Reid had all the 
tools in it. I'm happy Jeff sorted it out, but it would be nice if he 
could also write some instructions in the readme on how he did it.

This is a bit strange, it was building fine on my system... Anyway, 
thanks for the fix.

There is a forced symbol reference in the fibonacci project files to 
pull in the x86 backend. If you leave this one out, it still works 
because it uses the interpreter instead - but of course it's 100 times 
slower...
