[cfe-dev] Compiling a simple Win32 program

[Mikael Lyngvig]

Hi,

Take a look at http://lld.llvm.org.  It is the documentation for a planned
new linker which will eventually support PE-COFF as well as ELF and so on.
 I know that somebody is working on this, but it is my impression that help
is very much needed.

>From what I know, the Microsoft C++ ABI is not supported so you'll only get
away with linking trivial applications using the Microsoft linker.  If you
want to do advanced C++, you need to use the Mingw32 header files,
libraries, and linker.  I have tried all the major combinations and the
only one that works well at this time is Mingw32 and a 32-bit version of
Clang.


Cheers,
Mikael
