Description Jesse 2010-07-27 17:58:41 UTC

See:  http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.6.7#LLVM_backend

We should add an LLVM use flag, which takes dependency on llvm>=2.6.1, and passes  --enable-llvm=yes to ./configure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av mono
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
lack of llvm use flag

Expected Results:  
llvm use flag is present

As talked with upstream, it's better to wait for mono-2.8 since llvm support in 2.6 has multiple problems

Comment 3 Dennis Schridde 2013-11-15 20:37:54 UTC

Has anything changed regarding working LLVM support in Mono 3.2?

Hello, it looks like that it's not that simple because of :

configure: error: Compiling with stock LLVM is not supported, please use the Mono LLVM repo at https://github.com/mono/llvm, with the GIT branch which matches this version of mono, i.e. 'mono-2-10' for Mono 2.10.

I better say that it's just not supported because I don't really want to mess with their git llvm version... Does someone really need it?
