How to use on windows about llvm-mingw HOT 7 CLOSED

That's correct.

I have initially focused on using it as a cross compiler, but lately I've also tried to make it a bit more usable on actual native windows. You can have a try of that from https://martin.st/temp/llvm-mingw-x86_64.zip. The tools are wrapped in shell scripts which require running them from within MSYS (and with MSYS based build tools) though, but I'm working on getting away from that requirement.

@mstorsjo thank you for the prompt reply. I'll test the attached zip and get back to you if it is working for my applications. I see some issues with being forced to run the scripts from the msys terminal for my applications, but I look forward to your progress on this project.

@mstorsjo maybe you can do some work on getting standalone clang toolchain under msys2?

I'm thinking about adding new filesystem entries /clang{32,64} and provide only clang builds there

That might be good to look into, yes.

I'm almost done with getting usable windows based toolchains from my all-in-one builds (where I for now cross compile the whole toolchain from linux), hoping that I can serve that as downloadbles soon. After that, some sort of msys2 package would be great for wider adoption.

do you mind to also provide an elementary readme for beginners on compiling simple programs on windows and linux using this toolchain?

FWIW, I just uploaded prebuilt binaries of the toolchain here on github; it's similar to the one I linked before, but slightly more polished and with more executables available (without the cross target prefix).

As for readmes on how to compile programs with it; this is mainly targeted at people already familiar with mingw toolchains and how to use them - it's supposed to be more or less a drop-in replacement for them.

In the simplest use case, you can just do clang hello.c -o hello.exe after adding the right directory to your path, or e.g. aarch64-w64-mingw32-clang hello.c -o hello.exe to cross compile a binary for ARM64. Other than that, it's very much up to what kind of build system you have for your project; makefiles, cmake, etc. In all cases, it is intended to work just as for other mingw toolchains.

perfect, that's all I asked for. Thanks again for this contribution.
