[LLVMdev] creating a project from sample project

Reid,
Thank you for all your help. I think that I have AutoRegen.sh working
now. (I still get the warning about GOB2_HOOK, but I'm assuming that's
not a problem.)
I'll explain the scenario that led to the problem. I copied the sample
project to ~/work/myproject/src/sample. Then I renamed it to
~/work/myproject/src/llvm, indicating that this was the llvm part of my
project. So the problem was that when AutoRegen.sh applied ../../llvm
from ~/work/myproject/src/llvm/autoconf, it ended up pointing back to my
copy of the sample project rather than the llvm source; and I was never
asked for the location of the llvm source. To fix the problem I just
renamed ~/work/myproject/src/llvm to something else.
In order to use the fix that you've checked in for the sample project,
do I need to use the rest of the llvm src that is checked into cvs, or
can I just copy the new sample project from cvs and use it with llvm 1.6?
Thanks,
Ryan
