[new port] devel/mingw-w64 - LLVM MingGW cross compilation toolchain for Windows Executables Authored by russ.haley_gmail.com on Apr 20 2020, 5:09 AM. Tags None Referenced Files
Details
Martin Storsjo has created a mingw cross compiler toolchain for LLVM based on the clang tools called llvm-mingw. This is a port created by @theron.tarigo_gmail.com that uses the ports tree to assemble a similar toolchain. llvm-mingw is a drop in replacement for the gcc based mingw32 toolchain. There are some differences in the linker system as noted by Martin Storsjo. The package uses mingw64 and Clang10 My testing is practical rather than prescriptive. I am using LLVM-MinGW on FreeBSD to cross compile my winlua.net toolchain (https://winlua.net). WinLua includes lua, luarocks, libressl and the llvm-mingw compiler (on windows). I then package that and use it as a C/C++ toolchain on Windows. I build and test WinLua in both i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32. There is 2 Windows installations at work and I use it at home on Windows. I have recently used WinLua to cross port netpgp to Windows. While surely not exhaustive, my use case is quite extensive and even produces 3rd line validation that the cross compiling is correct. The use case could be said to validate that the LLVM-Mingw compiler toolchain works on FreeBSD because it produces a working windows compiler and other software.

Event TimelineComment Actions Thank you for working on this. You are welcome to claim maintainership if you'd like but that it also is not necessary as I do not wish to abandon this project.
Does this pertain to planned work? The patch still shows
etc. Comment Actions Yes, I'd very much like that. That is very kind of you. I wouldn't have been able to translate from the shell script to make files. I'm maintaining a windows toolchain with this compiler as well: http://winlua.net. I'm inches away from completing an installer and then I'm going to turn my attention to this and Lua 5.4. As per Clang-9/10: yes. I am using clang 10 with the scripts in Martins git repository, I was waiting for the binary pkg of clang-10 to show up, which it did for me today.

I'm wondering if LLVM didn't build for the correct architecture? I noted there is no explicit port option for windows binaries (obviously) so I did select all non-experimental backends. @theron.tarigo_gmail.com, you may know right away what I have done incorrectly? I assume from the language in our email that you were using this port prior to my uploading it. Did you ever install LLVM from a source other than the LLVM90 port? I wonder if LLVM was built with different backend settings and the files have lingered? Comment Actions Murphy's law dictates that I often find my own answers a few minutes after asking a question. I went back to my original cross compile scripts and found that my "non-ports" version of LLVM10 had been replaced: russellh@jailbird /s/scripts (master)> /usr/local/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc --version clang version 9.0.1 Target: i686-w64-windows-gnu Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /usr/local/llvm90/bin Which means the correct backend did get built and the error I am getting may not be the problem I am having. Or at least, I may have the correct backend. I'm not sure that i686-w64-windows-gnu is correct, I think the triplet is normally i686-w64-mingw32. |
