Hi
What does llvm-mingw mean exactly? FWIW, there is a mingw-llvm
package.
Thanks
Sandro
It is a complete, cross-compiling, Windows PE building
toolchain[1][2] that uses
llvm instead of gcc. The 'mingw-llvm' package is the llvm backend in
PE form and not
the complete toolchain.
The main llvm package should be capable of this already, as it's a
retargetable compiler. The clang package provides a clang program
that's capable of this.
This makes me wonder, is mingw-llvm actually useful? I took interest
into it way back when I thought it was necessary to get mingw-rust
building, but this turned out not to be the case (resp mingw targets
are now built directly in the main rust package). So any point in
keeping mingw-llvm around?
To add to this: as I understand it's just the llvm backend which could
be used on a Windows host, but serve no purpose in cross-compiling from
linux to mingw?
