Research direction

Start with DownloadDeps.bat and inspect how it selects and downloads LLVM archives, particularly the missing llvm-981341-windows-vs2017-x86-Debug archive. Done means the script downloads the Debug LLVM dependency or clearly exposes an option to obtain it, allowing a Debug build to proceed.

Description

I'm trying to make a debug build of CppSharp to figure out why the system crashes when trying to make bindings for my code. But I can't figure out how to do it, since the proper llvm debug version is missing (llvm-981341-windows-vs2017-x86-Debug) and I don't know how to get the archive.

Shouldn't DownloadDeps.bat download both the Debug and Release versions, or at least provide an option to download the debug version of llvm? Or maybe there is an option and I haven't found it.

Thanks!
