[llvm-dev] Newbie question on building with Visual Studio

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

I don't work on Windows, so have next to no idea - but when you say
you "aske it to build TableGen" what do you mean, specifically?
Perhaps you asked it to build the TableGen library - so that's what it
did? Can you instead ask it to build llvm-tblgen?
