-Download (from http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/) and install

-Build binutils 2.15 from source if necessary.
-If you want to compile the Cfrontend then upgrade to texinfo 4.5+ from source.
-If you need to create a library for an MS dll do these three steps:
-1) pexports /C/WINNT/SYSTEM32/file.dll | sed "s/^_//" > /C/MinGW/lib/file.def
-2) Edit file and append @<ordinal> to the missing function name
-3) dlltool.exe -k -d /C/MinGW/lib/file.def -l /C/MinGW/lib/libfile.a.
-Add in .profile: export CPPFLAGS="-D__MINGW -DLLVM_ON_WIN32=1"

<p>Additionally, your compilation host is expected to have the usual

<p>LLVM is very demanding of the host C++ compiler, and as such tends to expose
bugs in the compiler. In particular, several versions of GCC crash when trying
to compile LLVM. We routinely use GCC 3.3.3 and GCC 3.4.0 and have had success
-with them. Other versions of GCC will probably work as well. GCC versions listed
+with them (however, see below). Other versions of GCC will probably
+work as well. GCC versions listed
here are known to not work. If you are using one of these versions, please try
to upgrade your GCC to something more recent. If you run into a problem with a
version of GCC not listed here, please <a href="mailto:llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu">let
<p><b>GCC 3.3.2</b>: This version of GCC suffered from a <a
