[LLVMdev] llvm windows re-port

[Žiga Osolin]

Hi, everyone!

I decided to make llvm port on windows, to support at least Visual 
Studio 7.1 and Visual Studio 8. I guess I will make only Visual Studio 
7.1 version,
since it can be easily converted to version 8.

I am using the already made build system made by Morten Ofstad. I don't 
know how long has it been when he left, but most of the projects are there,
only some files are missing and many are not included in build.I will 
make this in no time. However, I have a little bit bigger problem. The 
code is not
really ported to windows, and I get a lot of errors (and tons of 
warnings) like this:

- e:\llvm\llvm\include\llvm\Support\Compressor.h(53) : error C2039: 
'string' : is not a member of 'std'
- e:\llvm\llvm\include\llvm\ADT\FoldingSet.h(150) : error C2061: syntax 
error : identifier 'uint64_t'

The windows seems not to know the string type, so you must include it 
directly through #include <string>. I did it for some files in support 
missing that and it
works fine (it should also not brake UNIX compatibility).

Also, windows does not know the type uint64_t, only __int64. Where 
should I put typedef for this type, maybe some file that gets included 
everywhere
(I don't seem to find it ...). There is also a small fix needed in 
System library itself, some things are outdated.

The other problem I have is that there are some files auto-generated. I 
could include this generations as pre-build events in visual studio (the 
configuration
project generates only config.h, DataTypes.h ... The current build 
system does not seem to generate those files in X86 project, how can I 
create them
(just tell me the command).

It also seems that other project (Analyzer ...) require some sort of 
prebuild steps (Intrinsics.h not found) ... Could you send me a commad 
that would generate
all those prerequisites (or at least tell me where to look:) ).

I hope I will make the project port soon enough.

Žiga
