How to build LLVM, libclang, and liblld from source
Alternately use the pre-built binaries.
Download llvm, clang, and lld and unzip each to their own directory. Ensure no directories have spaces in them. For example:
C:\Users\Andy\llvm-11.0.0.srcC:\Users\Andy\clang-11.0.0.srcC:\Users\Andy\lld-11.0.0.src
Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. Be sure to select "C++ build tools" when prompted.
- You must additionally check the optional component labeled C++ ATL for v142 build tools.
Install Python 2.7.
Install CMake 3.17.
Using the start menu, run x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 and execute these commands, replacing C:\Users\Andy with the correct value.

Typically I use the path ~/local since it does not require root to install, and it's sandboxed away from the rest of my system. If there's garbage in that directory then I just wipe it and start over.
cd llvm-11.0.0.src/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_ENABLE_LIBXML2=OFF
make install
cd lld-11.0.0.src/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make install
cd clang-11.0.0.src/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make install
Then add to your zig cmake line that you got from the readme:
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/local
If you get stuck you can look at the CI testing scripts for inspiration, keeping in mind that your environment might be different: https://github.com/zig-lang/zig/tree/master/ci
