The 2 ways of building for Windows

Q:

>From what I've read, you can build/use LLVM+clang via Visual Studio or via MinGW.  So far, I've only managed
to have my code working via MinGW.

However, most of my users compile using Visual Studio.  Can LLVM that was compiled using MinGW (or using the
pre-built MinGW binary) be linked against using Visual Studio (or, more specifically, using Visual
Studio's "cl" compiler and "link" linker)?

In my first attempt, I get an error message like:

libLLVMX86CodeGen.a(X86TargetMachine.o) : fatal error LNK1143: invalid or corrupt file: no symbol for
COMDAT section 0x6E

A:

No. MinGW's g++ and Visual Studio's cl use different C++ ABIs.
