+<p>The following details setting up for and building Clang on Windows using
+Visual Studio:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Get the required tools:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><b>Subversion</b>. Source code control program. Get it from:
+ <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html">
+ http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html</a></li>
+ <li><b>cmake</b>. This is used for generating Visual Studio solution and
+ project files. Get it from:
+ <a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">
+ http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html</a></li>
+ <li><b>Visual Studio 2005</b>
+ (VS 2008 may work also - cmake outputs VS2005 project files)</li>
+ <li><b>Python</b>. This is need only if you will be running the tests
+ (which is essential, if you will be developing for clang).
+ Get it from:
+ <a href="http://www.python.org/download">
+ http://www.python.org/download</a></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <li>Checkout LLVM:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>Checkout Clang:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>cd llvm\tools</tt>
+ <li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>Run cmake to generate the Visual Studio solution and project files:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>cd ..</tt> (Change directory back to the llvm top.)</li>
+ <li><tt>cmake .</tt></li>
+ <li>The above, if successful, will have created an LLVM.sln file in the
+ llvm directory.
+ </ul>
+ <li>Build Clang:</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Open LLVM.sln in Visual Studio.</li>
+ <li>Build the "clang-cc" project for just the compiler front end.
+ Alternatively, build the "clang" project for the compiler driver
+ (note that the driver is currently broken on Windows),
+ or the "ALL_BUILD" project to build everything, including tools.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>Try it out (assuming you added llvm/debug/bin to your path). (See the
+ running examples from above.)</li>
+ <li>See <a href="hacking.html#testingWindows">
+ Hacking on clang - Testing using Visual Studio on Windows</a> for information
+ on running regression tests on Windows.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Note that once you have checked out both llvm and clang, to synchronize
+to the latest code base, use the <tt>svn update</tt> command in both the
+llvm and llvm\tools\clang directories, as they are separate repositories.</p>
