LLVMs Clang Now Successfully Builds Qt

Just curious when/if you guys will be doing any new beta testing for new builds of AS?

WRT to LLVM and Linux, at the time that I spoke at the conference, Xen/KVM weren't working, but they're in much better shape now. You can't build a vanilla kernel, yes, but an allmodconfig works. E.g., you could build the default config of, say, the Debian kernel. Source code is available at github.com/lll-project. We're putting together .deb packages, soon, as well.

Also if it can build stuff without requiring any patching of code then that's progress too

Jup Patience too...

But anything in between is progress

True dat

When LLVM can build a rock-stable Linux/BSD kernel that runs fine as well as any desktop of choice as well as a complete userland I'd then call it a success.

Who cares who made it. All I care is that it works

Exactly!

non-GNU OS and show it to RMS

It's been done before, it's just a royal PITA to setup. Some linux kernel based firmwares for example do not use the GNU toolchain.

Don't forget that GNOME is also part of the GNU project. Compilers and kernels are only of interest to a small subset of GNU/Linux users and BSD and KDE are irrelevant.

*Hmphff* Everybody knows Gnome is irrelevant

Anyway... I was justing pointing out that it would be funny to make a totaly non-GNU OS and show it to RMS

But this GNU/Linux thing is really an old battle. Nowadays most people just call it Ubuntu .

Lol true that. BTW I don't care what people call it.

Once this can build Linux. BSD and KDE, there is no GNU/ in Linux anymore. Not that removing all FSF software is great, but it would be funny to shove that into RMS' face.
