[LLVMdev] Building Tools on MinGW from CVS

[Greg Pettyjohn]

I was building tools just fine last weekend, but now something has
changed...

The problem is that it can't find some symbols: (SymSetOptions,
SymInitialize, SymGetModuleBase, SymFunctionTableAccess, etc.)

I looked on the Web and these functions are in Dbghelp.lib.
Are they also in libimagehlp.a?

(BTW: does someone know a tool to examin the exported symbols in a MinGW
foo.a library?)

I'm trying to figure out what has changed since last weekend so that now
my tools build is failing.

I'm trying to build according to Anton's instructions. I have changed my
gcc version:

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from C:/msys/1.0/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.5/configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld

--disable-libgcj-debug --enable-interpreter --enable-hash-synchronization
--enable-libstdcxx-debug
Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw special)


Here is a part of the build spew showing the link errors for TableGen:

P.S. I would like to *actually use* llvm one day. But it seems like this
may be very difficult so long as I am working on Windows. Please make a
Windows version that is not "experimental".
