[cfe-users] Problem installing Clang

[John Pote]

Hans,
Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go.

Are there any examples of using clang? I mean are there any environment 
variables that need setting, how does the compiler know which language 
to compile for, link to required libraries etc.

Many thanks,
John
