Building Clang on Windows: DiagnosticCommonKinds.inc header doesn't exist

Question

I'm trying to build Clang on Windows 8.1 with MS Visual Studio 2013 following instructions at http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html in "Using Visual Studio" section.

I have checked out llvm to D:\Current\llvm, clang to D:\Current\llvm\tools\clang, created D:\Current\llvm_build and run "D:\Program Files (x86)\cmake-3.3.0-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe" -G "Visual Studio 12" ..\llvm in llvm_build directory.

LLVM.sln and other files are created in llvm_build directory without any critical errors. But when I open this solution in Visual Studio and try to compile clang project I get errors like this:

1>D:\Current\llvm\tools\clang\include\clang/Basic/DiagnosticIDs.h(53): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'clang/Basic/DiagnosticCommonKinds.inc': No such file or directory (D:\Current\llvm\tools\clang\tools\driver\cc1as_main.cpp)

Indeed, DiagnosticCommonKinds.inc file is nowhere to be found both in llvm and llvm_build folders. I suppose it should be generated by CMake during build process but for some reason this doesn't happen and I do not get any meaningful errors.

Here's output from CMake that I get:

Can someone advise how should I fix this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

It turned out that instruction at http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html is partially misleading:

Build the "clang" project for just the compiler driver and front end, or the "ALL_BUILD" project to build everything, including tools.

Is it actually impossible to compile clang project in newly created solution, but ALL_BUILD project compiles without any problems and generates all necessary files including DiagnosticCommonKinds.inc.
