Getting Clang to work on windows

Question

I have followed the following step by step guide and I\'ve managed, after a bit of fiddling, to get clang to compile using code:blocks and MinGW. Great, so now I could add t

There's some instructions for building clang on this page (hidden in the "Clang Development" part of the sidebar...). For MinGW you want the section called "On Unix-like Systems". The only tricky part is step 5 which tells you how to set up the paths for the C++ standard library. These need to be added into the code in clang/lib/Frontend/InitHeaderSearch.cpp. On my machine it wound up looking like this

// FIXME: temporary hack: hard-coded paths.
AddPath("/usr/local/include", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/mingw32", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/backward", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/../../../../include", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include", System, true, false, false);
AddPath("c:/msysgit/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include-fixed", System, true, false, false);

though I'm not sure all these are needed!
