[LLVMdev] Can't build against LLVM-3.5 with CMake: CMakeExports.cmake broken?

The last time, yes. I built with OS X Homebrew (http://brew.sh) and it looks like their formulas use --enable-shared by default, although there is an option to turn it off (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/llvm.rb). I was trying to work on a patch to update to 3.5.0 when I ran into the problem.

I'll try --disable-shared with the Homebrew formula and see if that unblocks me on 3.5.0. Homebrew also has an option to pull build from trunk as well, IIRC.

Perhaps we should advise the project to build with cmake if possible?

It looks like this has been pretty much solved, sorry for the delay. I forgot that I had llvm-dev going to a dedicated mail folder.
