[LLVMdev] Building LLVM and LLVM-GCC4 on Cygwin

[Aaron Gray]

This is invalidated as --enable-llvm switch was not included on the LLVM-GCC4 configuration. AND LLVM-GCC4 will not compile with GCC 3.4.4 (under Cygwin). :(

  Hello,

  Well theres not too much to it. A patch for Cygwin's stdint.h. And a patch for lib/System/Unix/Program.inc.

  Despite Cygwin complaining of timing errors both LLVM and LLVM-GCC4 compile ok'ish.

      make[2]: Warning: File `/dev/null' has modification time 0.0096 s in the future
      make[2]: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete. 

  I am getting this on both XP and Vista and am writting to the Cygwin list regarding this.

  In Cygwin's 'include/stdint.h' int32_t and uint32_t have to be changed from long's to int's.

          http://www.aarongray.org/LLVM/Patches/stdint.h.diff

  The alternative is to add some disambiguation functions to LLVM, these would be inline and transparent with no overhead.

  And 'lib/System/Unix/Program.inc' has to have three lines #def'ed out on the Cygwin build.

          http://www.aarongray.org/LLVM/Patches/Program.inc.diff

  This is because Cygwin does not support RLIMIT_RSS.

  There are 'make check' results here :-

          http://www.aarongray.org/LLVM/check.txt

  The summary :-

    ===  Summary ===

      # of expected passes 1620
      # of unexpected failures         136
      # of unexpected successes         1
      # of expected failures 19

  Pritty rag tailed quite a few complaits and it also ended with errors.

  There are build instructions here :-

          http://www.aarongray.org/LLVM/BuildingLLVMonCygwin.html

  Be aware with these timing errors Cygwin is not a solid development or build platform at present.

  Release build coming soon :)

  Regards,

  Aaron
