I created a brand new build directory for Fedora 20, but had a build failure. It appears that on Debian, the package llvm-dev installs in all the static libraries as well as the header files. However on Fedora 20 llvm-devel only installs the header files, you have to install llvm-static as well to get the static libraries. The CMake files did not check that the needed static libraries were in place :-( Is it possible for CMake to make such a check?

Yes, this can be added. The script to detect LLVM is in cmake/modules/FindLLVM.cmake. I want to update the logic a bit - this would be a good time to add this feature.

I added your request to https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/353 so that I do not forget about it.

Regards,
Kai
