There is always another way to do the same. I explicitly use this to test different combinations of LLC and CLANG, in-order to validate Alexei's claim that older versions of CLANG could still work with a newer version of LLC. Thus, one use-case you approach cannot cover ;-) And clang seems to install a clang-3.9, which my solution also covers by explicitly specifying CLANG=clang-3.9, if several avail clang's are in the PATH. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
