[LLVMdev] Windows Installer

[Rafael Auler]

I was not necessarily asking you to build, but just to check your
installation folder and see whether you have "tools/msbuild/install.bat"
there because I don't know if the Windows installer puts this there.
However, if you want to build outside VS, I recommend mingw-w64. If you
have any difficulties about the VS build process though, feel free to ask
questions :-)

Usually, to build LLVM on a Windows system from scratch (with VS
installed), I would just install git for windows, which already installs a
lot of important GNU tools, and ask to put everything in my path. Then I
would install CMake and put this in my path. Afterwards, open a shell with
VS paths, create a build folder, run CMake -G"Visual Studio
...<yourversion>" and then "msbuild <name of project>". A lot of people
prefer to use ninja instead of msbuild, though, but you must install ninja
and use CMake -GNinja instead.
