[Libunwind-devel] checking out libunwind on Windows

[Ruben Van Boxem]

Hi,

In a whim of me overestimating myself, I decided to see what would need to be worked on for libunwind to work on Windows.

Unfortunately, I cannot checkout the sources due to the fact that there is a directory in the source tree that uses a "forbidden" name on Windows: "aux". Stupid, I know, I didn't write Windows ;-)

Could this be fixed? In the meantime I'll see what manually extracting a snapshot and renaming the dir can do for me.

In the future I'd be interested in *trying* (as hard as I can) to port this stuff to Windows. The ultimate goal would be a complete LLVM toolchain: compiler-rt/libunwind/libcxxrt/libc++ with Clang. The linker (binutils ld) is another story... Any tips and pointers to help me will be welcome!

Thanks!

Ruben
