Hi Joel,
Indeed, LLD is not configured to be used by default in LLVM-12.0.0-rc1. You need to add -fuse-ld=lld option for it to work. We’ll fix this in the final LLVM-12 release for WoA, which is expected in around 2 weeks.
Thanks for catching this!

Hi
I was trying "clang hello.c" from command line, but "clang-cl hello.c" gives me the same error. I am unsure if this is what you mean but neither work.
Thanks, Joel

Hi Joel,
Are you using clang-cl.exe as compiler/linker driver? It’s easiest to use clang-cl.exe as it aims to be a direct replacement for MSVC’s cl.exe, but will use LLVM tools. In particular, when clang-cl.exe uses LLVM Linker (LLD) by default.
If you are using linux-style clang.exe as the driver, then you need to specify -fuse-ld=lld to use LLD.
Does this help?

Hi
I've been trying to run clang on a Windows on Arm machine, but it keeps trying to using the link.exe located in "Visual studio/..../Host64/arm64", which is (seemingly) an x64 tool and as such doesn't run, and crashes the process. Is there a way to set clang to look at VS's x86 link.exe? Or if there is an arm64 version that clang should be using instead?
