Bug ID: 24310
Summary: Windows build cannot be installed silently or to a
specific directory
Product: Build scripts
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: autoconf
Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
Reporter: alexchan...@gmail.com
CC: llvmbugs@cs.uiuc.edu
Classification: Unclassified
The LLVM Windows installer (currently LLVM-3.6.2-win32.exe) cannot be installed
silently or locally, and accepts no command line arguments (including `/?`,
`/h`, `-h`, `--help`, or `-?`). Nor is there any way to obtain LLVM on Windows
without modifying the registry.
This is an especially an issue for Windows package managers like Chocolatey,
which want to distribute zip/7z/tar.gz/tar.xz archives (or even MSI) of
"portable" Windows binaries, and to install them to a sandboxed location (like
C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/llvm/) and symlink them into a common folder in
the PATH (like C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin).
The build scripts should be modified to produce either a
zip/7z/tar.gz/tar.xz/msi archive of the Windows binaries, or if all else fails
to add options to ".exe" installer to enable silent, local installation.
