Problem compiling the project under Cygwin.

[albert-github]

I'm trying to compile llvm under 64-bit Cygwin, I get an error.

Used branch:

• release/9.x

Commands used:

• mkdir build_release
• cd build_release
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../llvm
• make
• git pull
  (just to be on the safe side)
• make

Used compiler:

• The C compiler identification is GNU 7.4.0
• The CXX compiler identification is GNU 7.4.0

This gives me:

[  0%] Built target LLVMDemangle
[  0%] [  0%] Building CXX object lib/Support/CMakeFiles/LLVMSupport.dir/ThreadLocal.cpp.o

Is there a solution for this problem?

[albert-github]

Looks like I solved the problem.

I found in my path a reference to the Windows StrawBerry perl binaries, starting over again without these settings solved this compilation problem.

Sorry for the noise.
