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

[Aaron Gray]

>I have flex and bison from Cygwin installed:

WinGNU32 Flex and Bison are the ones to use with LLVM and Visual Studio.

    http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

The LLVM Visual Studio .sln file is for Visual Studio 2003 so will require 
conversion and some minor modification.
