Bootstrapping Qt using clang

Step 1  - checkout LLVM/Clang
mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
cd llvm/tools
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
cd ../../
mkdir build-cmake
cd build-cmake ../
make -j 334

Step 2 - checkout Qt, and configure it usig (the non installed) clang
cd ~/src
git clone http://git.gitorious.org/qt/qt.git 
cd qt
CC=/home/elcuco/src/llvm/build-cmake/bin/clang
CXX=/home/elcuco/src/llvm/build-cmake/bin/clang++
export CC
export CXX
./configure 

Step 3
[elcuco@pinky ~/src/gitorious/qt] gdb ./bin/qmake

FAIL. At least it compiled without any modification! yay configure!

Good to see it gets that far, but still a bit of an anticlimax.

Do you know if there is specific efforts ongoing to make qt compile+work with llvm, or is the current status just the result of general clang improvements ?

Moltonel: clang currently compiles itself - into a binary that doesn't work. It has come a long way but it's not done yet. The development speed of clang seems to be very high though and I expect something more or less working definitely this year.

hmm, I have an error in configure

reating qmake. Please wait...
