[llvm-dev] Running LNT and the LLVM test-suite on Windows

[Martin J. O'Riordan via llvm-dev]

I assume this is referring to the new Linux compatibility subsystem for Windows 10; or do you mean the older Posix subsystem?

I will certainly investigate all approaches to find which works best for my cross-compiler, it has an unusual link and run model to other cross-compilers I have worked on, so a lot of the trouble will be writing a suitable wrapper for it.

Thanks again,

	MartinO

I am not sure whether this was a response to my proposed "Windows subsystem for Linux" solution. I can confirm that it works fine as I use it regularly (sanitizer builds unfortunately do not work)

As with a virtual machine, you have to create a llvm/clang build for use within the subsystem, but sources can be shared with symbolic links into the Windows filesystem.

It cannot work "natively" on Windows as many test-suite programs require Unix-specific headers. You'd have to rewrite the platform-specific parts of those first/exclude them from test-suite.
