beta, there are no guarantees and there is no support for it at this time.
It has been reported that VC++ Express also works.</p>
- <p>You will also need several open source packages: bison, flex, and sed.
- These must be installed in <tt>llvm/win32/tools</tt>. These can be found at
- <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net">http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net</a>
- or
- <a href="http://unxutils.sourceforge.net">http://unxutils.sourceforge.net</a>.
- Bison prefers that m4 be in the path. You must add it to the Visual Studio
- configuration under the menu Options -> Projects -> VC++ Directories.
- Alternatively, you can set the environment variable <tt>M4</tt> to point to
- <tt>m4</tt> executable.</p>
+ <p>If you plan to modify any .y or .l files, you will need to have bison
+ and/or flex installed where Visual Studio can find them. Otherwise, you do
+ not need them and the pre-generated files that come with the source tree
+ will be used.</p>

<p><b>Note: while you cannot do this step on Windows, you can do it on a
Unix system and transfer <tt>hello.bc</tt> to Windows.</b></p></li>
- <li><p>Run the program. To make sure the program ran, execute the
- following command:</p>
+ <li><p>Run the program using the just-in-time compiler:</p>
<p><tt>% lli hello.bc</tt></p></li>
<li><p>Use the <tt>llvm-dis</tt> utility to take a look at the LLVM assembly
code:</p>
- <p><tt>% llvm-dis < hello.bc | less</tt><p></li>
+ <p><tt>% llvm-dis < hello.bc | more</tt><p></li>
- <li><p>Compile the program to native assembly using the LLC code
- generator:</p>
+ <li><p>Compile the program to C using the LLC code generator:</p>
- <p><tt>% llc hello.bc -o hello.s</tt></p>
+ <p><tt>% llc -march=c hello.bc</tt></p></li>
- <li><p>Assemble the native assembly language file into a program:</p>
+ <li><p>Compile to binary using Microsoft C:</p>
- <p><b>Not currently possible, but eventually will use <tt>NASMW</tt>.</b></p>
+ <p><tt>% cl hello.cbe.c</tt></p></li>
<li><p>Execute the native code program:</p>
- <p><tt>% ./hello.native</tt></p></li>
+ <p><tt>% hello.cbe.exe</tt></p></li>
