I have built clang (llvm) on windows with Visual Studio 2010 and used the built binaries as the compiler inside of a Visual Studio project. This was with clang 3.0 and llvm 2.9.1.

There is an issue tracker entry for this: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13035 but it is in the backlog waiting for more feedback and a volunteer. The main problem is distinguishing the GNU-compatible and MS-compatible builds of Clang. Oops, missed that issue.

Interesting approach. That may be better than separating the compiler id as mentioned in the above-linked issue. The "MINGW" value is set based on CMAKE_C_PLATFORM_ID which is computed in the same way and at the same time as CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID. Try: $ cat Platform/Windows-Clang-C.cmake if("${CMAKE_C_PLATFORM_ID}" MATCHES "MinGW") include(Platform/Windows-GNU-C) else() include(Platform/Windows-cl) endif() $ cat Platform/Windows-Clang-CXX.cmake if("${CMAKE_CXX_PLATFORM_ID}" MATCHES "MinGW") include(Platform/Windows-GNU-CXX) else() include(Platform/Windows-cl) endif() Do you have both the MS-style and GNU-style Clang available to test? This works for the MinGW build. I really can't say if this fixes the library naming issue for the MS-style Clang. Clang does not have a VC-compatible driver (that I know of) so does not accept VC-style arguments like "/O2", which causes CMake to fail early on in the configure process when using the NMake generator. Clang with MinGW is the only really supported configuration at this point. Thanks, -Brad -- Thanks, Justin Holewinski
