[cfe-dev] Howto build clang tools using cmake

Hi Nikola,

Thanks for the pointer. Moved the sources to ~/llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra/mytool and updated the CMakeLists.txt to reflect the link you provided, but I am getting the exact same build errors.
Are the docs in synch with  the current Clang API (3.5)? Am I missing a library?

Content of my CMakeLists.txt:

set(LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS support)
set(LLVM_USED_LIBS clangTooling clangBasic clangAST)

add_clang_executable(find-class-decls FindClassDecls.cpp)

target_link_libraries(find-class-decls
  clangTooling
  clangBasic
  clangASTMatchers
  )


Compiler errors:

[100%] Building CXX object tools/clang/tools/extra/mytool/CMakeFiles/find-class-decls.dir/FindClassDecls.cpp.o
/Users/aludin/clang-llvm/llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra/mytool/FindClassDecls.cpp:17:43: error: member access into incomplete

      return type 'std::unique_ptr<ASTConsumer>')

Thanks!
