[lldb-dev] start contributing to LLDB

[Erwin Coumans]

Hi,

Do you have a URL to the git branch of the Windows port? What is the
current state of that port?

Is there an easy way to disable the Python/swig dependency when compiling LLDB?
(in case someone is just interested in the command-line debugger
without Python bindings)

Thanks,
Erwin

We will review your patches and make sure they are correct and then we will commit them for you giving you credit in the checkin. Later after you get the hang of things, you can ask for a commit login where you will be able to submit your patches directly.
