[LLVMdev] Adding register allocator to LLVM

[Anton Vayvod]

Hi!

I've did what Jim Laskey wrote but llc didn't reckognize my regalloc option.

So I moved my allocator implementation into seperate folder within CodeGen
and wrote separate makefile for it (like in "Writing an LLVM pass"
tutorial). But when I run "make" from LLVMOBJDIR it doesn't enter the
RegAlloc directory and when linking llc an error like
"createGraphColoringRegAlloc not defined" occurs.

What am I doing wrong? :)

BTW, do you know what the extension cygwin uses instead of ".so"?

Thanks,
