[cfe-dev] Difficulties preparing libtooling based workshop

[Richard]

Hi,

In discussion with the organizers of Utah Software Craftsmen, we've
decided to postpone this libtooling workshop due to the excessive
setup time.  This was really useful feedback because the same problem
would be faced at C++ Now 2014 if this session is accepted.  (I prefer
a hands-on exploration of code instead of watching someone else's
power-point deck on a screen, don't you?)

So I'm going to finish off my existing walk through on github and then
take a look at the packaging.  My intention is to contribute a patch
that will package up everything you need (headers and built libraries)
in order to write your own refactoring tool using libtooling without
requiring you to build clang yourself first.  This would be an add-on
package to the existing binary packages.

We can tackle the idea of packaging a shared object to avoid repeated
copies of static libraries in executables and reduce package size as a
"package refactoring" that can be applied once the libraries are
packaged.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far.
