To: LLVMdev Mailing List <llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu>


Here's the first part of my Windows set up documentation.  This one only
covers the process of setting up a normal box for building LLVM and Clang.
 A later document, which will follow in a few days, will cover how to set
up a buildbot slave.

As usual: I'm not a psychic, so if you have opinions regarding or
suggestions on this document, please feel free to share them with me (on
this mailing list).

To see the document in its full glory, as it is going to look on the
website, do this (I am NOT bragging about my document, I am just very happy
about the whole switch to Sphinx - the color coding of the examples is
awesome thanks to Sphinx and Pygments):

0. Ensure you have Python and Sphinx installed.
1. Copy the attached file to llvm/docs.
2. Run "make html".
3. Open up the HTML document at "llvm/docs/_build/html/Building with MinGW
on Windows.html".

I'm especially interested in tips and tricks that Windows users should or
must know.  Things that can make it difficult for them to succeed.  Things
that can scare them away (my writing style?).  Things that can confuse
them.  And so on.


Cheers,
Mikael
