Indeed there is no LLVM import libraries in mingw64/lib. Btw, libLLVMDemangle.dll is in mingw64/bin.

[brechtsanders]

True, but I can include the LLVM *.dll.a file.

In which scenario where you needing these files?

Build https://github.com/AdeptLanguage/Adept. But I discovered that you only include libraries, not headers. So even if everything is fine with LLVM, I still have problems with CURL, ZLIB, ZSTD,... I still can't build it without MSYS2. This is the reason I closed this issue.

[brechtsanders]

The goal of the http://winlibs.com/ build packages is to provide the build tools. The idea is not to bloat them too much with things that aren't part of the build tools themselves.

I'm working on a package manager here and build recipes here.

But I haven't published any binary packages yet as I haven't found time yet to figure out which ones can actually be distributed based on their license and under which conditions (e.g. including the license file in the binary package).

Note that building the packages on my side still requires MSYS2 shell, but I don't use the mingw-w64 build tools from MSYS2. Instead I use the ones I build myself.

When I build qt6-tools using winlibs(13.2.0-17.0.6-11.0.1-ucrt-r5), I meet the same problem:

@brechtsanders So Brecht, you really need to add these import libraries.

[brechtsanders]

Okay, I can add these .dll.a files in a next release.

The focus of winlibs was initially on GCC, so LLVM wasn't that well tested.

If you insist on using LLVM, you may want to try https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw

[brechtsanders]

The LLVM .dll.a files are included in today's releases.
