[cfe-dev] What are the plans for creating a Windows Binary Release of Clang?

[Yaron Keren]

clang does not have C include files and (I think) linker on Windows so it's
still not a standalone toolchain. It can use these from Visual C++ or if
you want non-proprietary toolchain, install clang with gcc-based MingW
http://www.mingw.org.
