[LLVM] Get the LLVM back-end and run-time working with MPS #961

Open waywardmonkeys opened 9 years ago

waywardmonkeys commented 9 years ago

One of the Ravenbrook folks has expressed an interest in knowing what's involved in getting the Open Dylan LLVM back-end and run-time working with MPS.

This will be a meta-issue to try to track that.

I'm doing this work on https://github.com/waywardmonkeys/opendylan/tree/dev/mps-and-llvm for now ... I reserve the right to rebase and force-push that branch, so let me know (via this bug) if you do anything with it or want a change incorporated.

With the changes currently on that branch, the next set of failures to resolve are these during linking:

These can be seen by building a dylan-compiler from the branch and then:

    $ make-dylan-app hello
    $ cd hello
    $ path/to/your/new/dylan-compiler -build hello -back-end llvm -verbose

Updated the branch. Now linking fails with just these 2:

Will continue another day.
