Do you have python installed on your devel machine?

 

Yes.

After playing around a little, I found that If I set  my mingw path to include my windows Python folder, then llvm 3.1 compiles as currently is, so python is now a requirement for the build.

 

It is, at least when you use CMake. They use python to generate part of the CMake files at the end of the "configuration" process. But I noticed there seems to be a regular set of configure and Makefile's included. AFAIK they are/were used for native MinGW compilation and I don't know whether those also requires python.

 

There doesn’t seem to be a msys python though

 

I don't think so. I installed it from the Windows installer found in http://www.python.org.

I was just using the provided configure from llvm. I thought the previous version had a –without-python option, however I cant see it now.
