compilation in Julia 0.6.2 with LLVM requiring Julia 0.7-dev

[SimonDanisch]

It's a work in progress:
#70
JuliaGPU/GPUArrays.jl#108
And currently I'm running into:
JuliaGPU/CUDAnative.jl#180

LLVM compiles out of box in Julia 0.7-dev and does not want to do that in Julia 0.6.2

It requires a manually built Julia on 0.6. That shouldn't be too much effort though, just clone the git repo, check-out the latest 0.6 tag, and run make. As you mention, we have worked around this requirement on 0.7.

CuArrays does not want to build itself in Julia 0.7-dev

That is a work in progress, AFAIU @SimonDanisch has a branch for 0.7 compatibility on CuArrays/CLArrays/GPUArrays.

Thank you!

I tried to do it (clone the repo from git, then run make), but I've got other errors such as "@debug is unknown" or "module Test cannot be found in 0.6". Probably and due to my experience, it's better if I wait for a stable future release of 0.7 :-)
