I use the llvm/clang version that gets built by externals-clasp.
This clang needs to be informed where OS X compiler resources (header files) are located.
So the following symbolic link needs to be installed.
Let's say the external clang executable is installed at
/Users/meister/Development/externals-clasp/build/release/bin/clang.Questions: Am I supposed to understand which version of Clang Clasp is linked with? Especially before I’ve compiledthe first time? What is “external clang”? I see that on my system clang is in /usr/bin/clang. Do I need to install another clang?If someone could give me some more help, that’d be great.Kind regardsJim
