No problem at all. There is an example quoted in the README and
how to compile it, so without further information form your
side I don't know what the problem is. To get the example from
the README working:
- Download/Clone the github repo into a folder (let's say
llvm-d)
- cd into that folder
- execute rdmd -L-ldl sample/multithreaded.d
The need for the -dl flag is only for POSIX platforms and will
be gone with the next commit as I have included a lib pragma.
If the above doesn't help could you please tell me what exactly
you have done and at which point you have the problems?

Thanks so much.
I had dub upgrade the llvm-d package and now I have different
problems. That said, I do have a working example (as long as rdmd
is used).
I have updated the gist (with repro steps):
https://gist.github.com/Zshazz/c7dbd6eee0b6b242252b
I'm running LLVM 3.2, so the example given in the README doesn't
work. But the code in the gist works as long as you run 'dub
--rdmd', so that's some progress! Not really sure about the
linking problems without rdmd. This is sufficient to start some
work with it to really try some things out, though.
I'll keep messing around with it. It seems like you already know
that JIT doesn't work because we need InitializeNativeTarget.
That all said, the tutorials, instructions, and documentation for
the C API of LLVM is pretty sparse. The best I've seen to figure
out how things work is to go through
http://llvm.org/doxygen/modules.html and piece together (very
slowly) how something might work. I'm also having to cross
reference tutorials made for the C++ API and figure out how to
make it work in C by reading the raw source code to get the
equivalent calls. Fortunately I did find that one post that gave
a close-to-complete example in C. Is there any better way to do
this at this point?
Thanks again.
