[LLVMdev] Using LLVM to compile Objective-C on an Xbox 360

Just to be clear, nothing in the MS TCRs require that you use a certain compiler - it does, however, require that you link with the 360-specific C runtime libraries. That being said, I still believe that direct binary generation is not a feasible option, and the ObjC => C route is preferred.

Kevin, hate to be asking this but do you have access to the XDK or are you just "aiming" for it?
