[Libclc-dev] Compilation problems on Slackware 14.2 32-bit

[Jeroen Ketema via Libclc-dev]

Hi Zbigniew,

The configure script depends on the llvm-config executable to figure out the locations of all the headers and libraries you mention below. So, the question is whether the configure script is picking up on the correct llvm-config and whether llvm-config reports the right values. You in particular want to check the output of the following two commands:

llvm-config --ldflags
llvm-config --cxx-flags

You can also explicitly point the configure script to the correct llvm-config with the help of the --with-llvm-config option.

Does the above help?

Regards,

 Jeroen
