[llvm-dev] Building LLVM with VisualStudio 2017

[Gaier, Bjoern via llvm-dev]

Hey Stella,

(Gaier is my last name :0)

I do the same steps as you do! The resulting Clang compiler is indeed working. I have problems with the LLVM library.

When I build the LLVM7 I use the libraries of it in a different project - a JIT client.
When I compile this solution with Visual Studio 2017 and the MSVC compiler, then I get no problems.

But, when I switch to the Clang-cl compiler in Visual Studio 2017, then I get suddenly these undefined references.
The strange thing is, that this also happens when I compile the LLVM with a preinstalled Clang.

Kind greetings
Björn

Hey Gaier,

Can you give a few more details on your scenario? We use build LLVM with VS 2017 and we can successfully compile programs with clang afterwards.

At a high level, what we do is:
1) Call Cmake to generate VS2017 Solution
2) Build the solution 
3) Now use clang to compile other programs

Thanks,
-Stella

But building the LLVM and Clang is no problem at all.
The problem occurs when I use the generated LLVM lib files in a project, which I compile with Clang.

something i expirenced when i added the IRParser lib to the Fibonacci example (using cmakelists.txt) - in a clean first build

after the change i was unable to build the project (with masses of errors)

rebuilding on the console with cmake build "repaired" the sln
