[LLVMdev] Is there someone tried LLVM 2.1 on Visual Studio 2005?

[Ted Neward]

I have flex and bison from Cygwin installed:


$ flex --version
flex version 2.5.4

$ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 2.3

Should that work, assuming they're on the PATH? When I ran the build from
inside VS, I get some build failures, but nothing that implies that it was
looking for flex/bison to execute directly--are you supposed to run these
prior to launching the build?

The docs on "Getting Started with Visual Studio" seem a tad bit out of date,
but I'm certainly not enough beyond n00b status to know for sure.
