[LLVMdev] how to change a compiler from a host to a target in Clang's assembler and linker

Konbanwa, Etani san,

It might be clang driver issue. Move to cfe-dev.

> I would like to ask you how to use Clang in cross-compile environment. My environment is as follows:

> HOST: 32-bit Fedora 16 with Intel Core i7

* What do you specify as -target? (eg. clag -c -target i686-pc-mingw32)

* Which toolchain have you installed and what is the prefix of it?
AFAIU, GNU binutils for the target would be essential.
(eg. /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ld)

> As Clang's option is "-c" in use, my programs are compiled and linked under a host machine's environment (in my case, 32-bit Fedora 16 is a host OS with Intel Core i7).

> In order to compile and link them under a target's environment (in my case, mips-typed linux gcc/g++ can work), in Clang’s "Assembler" and "Linker" processes, a compiler on a host should be changed to one on a target. Still now, I cannot find out a file to set a compiler for "Assembler" and "Linker" in Clang. Please advise me how to change a compiler from a host one to a target one.

* Have you tried "clang -c -integrated-as"?

To Mips guys: Do you think Mips MC assembler would work?

FYI, workaround.
clang -S hogehoge.c
target-gcc -c hogehoge.s
target-gcc -o fugafuga hogehoge.o ...
(I don't know how mips-clang would be mature)
