Error building LLVM on Windows - LNK1104

I'm trying to build LLVM-5.0.1 and have had a few issues.

Here are the steps taken to get where I am.

  1. Download the source and extract to a folder.
  2. Open cmd and move to the folder.
  3. Run cmake "C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\llvm-5.0.1.src" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\llvm-5.0.1" -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=True -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=True
  4. Run cmake --build .

During the last command it seems to compile parts successfully but towards the end a lot of errors occur as a file isn't found (LLVM.lib). I've checked and the file doesn't exist in the source that I have.

From what I understand I would need to use the extra arguments in the command to generate shared libs for when I use llvm-hs. I believe that would be needed to then set llvm-config on the class path (although I may be wrong). If I run this without the arguments it builds successfully although it looks as though the files aren't all existent in the specified output directory.

What may be the issue here?

Sadly, it seems that building LLVM for Visual Studio with -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=True -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=True is not all that well supported.

See the following thread on the LLVM mailing list, from June 9th 2017:
[llvm-dev] Cannot build Clang/LLVM on Windows with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB.

TL;DR:

It's unsupported on MS toolchain. It's too hard to make LLVM headers and libs DLL-ready.
