Building JUCE7 with Clang on Windows

[AndreasLoANjoe]

I searched the forums and found there was some experimental support for Clang compilation put into JUCE 6? What is the state of LLVM/Clang support right now and is it possible to set up a projucer project to use the Clang compiler on Windows?

Hi,

I suspect what you are referring to has been removed.

Projucer live build end of life

Hi all, We’re going to retire the live build functionality of the Projucer. It’s not particularly clear from the outside, but the amount of effort required to keep things working across all the different versions of JUCE, and all the different sets of headers introduced with each operating system update, is really quite substantial. Whilst it was an interesting experiment when we had a dedicated LLVM engineer working for us, the cost of maintaining the functionality now easily outweighs the be…

That’s too bad I notice that compilation behaviour between Clang and Apple Clang ofcourse is much more consistent then between MSVC and Apple Clang. I like to work with default Projucer workflows to have as low as possible maintenance when it comes to supporting new JUCE versions but I notice that especially with C++ 20 concepts and requirements MSVC and Apple Clang are drifting apart more and more. It would be nice to have a JUCE setup with a more consistent compilation behaviour between platforms.
