Re: Building GNUstep for Windows using Clang

[Ivan Vučica]

I am not in favor of committing binaries into otherwise highly compressible repositories, those containing primarily source code.

Clone operations become heavyweight and eliminating the binary from history is, like any other file, difficult.

If we start to commit binaries, can it be in separate optional repositories, please?

Just a suggestion.  Could you commit the binary resulting from the build?  While David might disagree, this is a very heavyweight and difficult build process.  I would prefer to spare others from having to go through it.  If someone else doesn't commit it, I will go through the process and do it myself.

You should be able to just do a Windows build with the VS command prompt and CMake.  I normally build clang with CMake + Ninja + either Visual Studio or an existing LLVM install on Windows.  There are no other dependencies.

Thanks, it’s building now, fans spinning. :)
