[llvm-dev] Building LLVM using AIX native compilers

[Richard Sayde via llvm-dev]

I am experimenting with using LLVM for a project and need to determine I 
could compile the LLVM libraries on AIX using the native compilers. I am 
only planning on using the IR/optimization libraries and skip the code 
generation step/libraries. I also don't need clang.

Due to various constraints am currently using an old version (LLVM 3.4.2). 
As this is an experiment, that is OK for now. But I would like to move to 
newer versions sometime if possible.

I know LLVM requires GCC, however, I found that the AIX native compilers 
have GCC compatible compilers (gxlC and gxlc). I am able to configure 
without errors. However, the compile step fails with some warnings 
(incompatible -W options) and errors (missing endian.h include file among 
others). So has anyone on the llvm-dev mailing list had experience with 
this? And if so, can you share your results/methods with me?

Thanks
Richard
