You are mistaken, Clang absolutely also works with MinGW. Or it did at least up to 3.7 (didn’t get around to trying 3.8 yet)

How should I setup CMake to build a C/C++ application on Windows using clang/clang++ as compilers and Ninja as build tool? I tried specifying "-GNinja" to cmake, and setting CC/CXX to clang/clang++. But this didn't work. I get errors like: clang.exe: error: no such file or directory: '/nologo' indicating that CMake thinks it should pass Visual C++ style options to clang. I'm thinking about fooling CMake that clang/clang++ are cross compilers (I know how to get cross compiling working in other cases). But since clang/clang++ are the native tools for Windows, I was hoping to be able to use Clang + Ninja on Windows almost like I use on Linux. If I run Clang from the command line, I can build my application, so my Clang-installation works. I'm using CMake 3.5.1 and Clang 3.8.0. /Johan Holmberg Hi, On Windows Clang works only with Visual C++, since they don't provide libc++. MinGW is not supported. Clang provides a Visual C++'s cl.exe replacement. You need to have the official windows<http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.8.0> Clang and Visual C++ Express or Community installed. Then it's just a matter of: 1. Opening a Visual C++ 2013 64 bit command prompt window 2. Putting clang's cl.exe in the path and setting clang's INCLUDE path first set PATH=c:\Program Files\LLVM\msbuild-bin\;%PATH% set INCLUDE=c:\Program Files\LLVM\lib\clang\3.8.0\include\;%INCLUDE% 3. cmake -G "Ninja" 4. Ninja CMake / Ninja will think that they compile with Visual C++, but instead will use clang. Note that you have to match Visual C++ and Clang's build, 32 or 64 bit. You can't mix them, or you'll have weird errors<https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2016-March/062978.html>. Cheers, Cristian. P.S. This is actually a re-post, this time adding the mailing list.
