I most politely retract my statement about GnuWin32. I can see now, that I've some experience in building LLVM, that it is mandatory. So be it :-)<div><br></div><div>However, I have been playing around with the idea of making stand-alone .NET tools to replace the GNU tools. But that approach only works on a small, limited number of platforms and .NET programs aren't exactly known to be overly fast. So I kneel before GnuWin32 :-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>The only other set of tools I know for this purpose are the UnxUtils package, but I don't think it is being maintained actively anymore. So it is probably not usable. And, again, I spoke too early, knowing too little about the whole ordeal.</div>

Gnuwin32 is required, for now, when you run tests (check, check-all,<br>
clang-test).<br>
Then, you would not need to update your %PATH% to specify<br>
LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR to CMake.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you know other (llvm|clang)-tests-compatible tools<br>
other than gnuwin32 (and msys).<br>
<br>
FYI, some clang/llvm tests are marked as "REQUIRES: shell". They rely<br>
on sh behavior and they are skipped if bash.exe is not found in your<br>
%PATH%.<br>
