From some Googling around, it seems that clang support for windows has improved lately, and clang support can also be improved. But I'm pretty new to this whole heavyweight compiler, but I'm not sure what the current status is.
I am trying to run the command:
b2 --build-dir=build toolset=clang --build-type=complete stage
as suggested in section 5.2.4 at www.boost.org/.../get_started/windows .
This works to some extent, but as I watch the magazines print on the screen, I see a few troubling things:
- starting with
clang-linux.compile.c++.... although I am in windows. 12 warnings generated. (or similar ones), perhaps this is always -Wunused-local-typedef , but I'm not sure.2 warnings and 8 errors generated (or similar), if there are errors, assembly failure? How should I know which component of boost is not built properly and what can I do to fix it?
I don’t understand if I need the MSVC compiler, the Visual Stufio IDE and / or MinGW, and do I need to manually set the flags for transmission to the compiler? Perhaps clang + boost is not ready for windows yet?
Ultimately, I want to use boost.python , and later boost.coroutine .
Presumably if I want to use clang for my own projects, do I also need to compile boost with clang?
