When I build through 4coder, Clang-cl cannot seem to find link.exe. The directory the linker is in my path, and 4coder is launched with this script
This is the directory for the linker in my path:
But this is the error Clang-cl gives
The full error log can be found here : https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4f334a9a5051960331ea5d78d5a79407
It's not clear what exactly is the issue. Has anyone ran into this?

does that directory end up in %path% after the call to VsDevCmd.bat?

does that directory end up in %path% after the call to VsDevCmd.bat?
Yes. I confirmed this by printing the %PATH% variable at the end of the startup script.

Who, from where and how calls clang-cl.exe ?
My build.bat, which is inside my project/code directory. The actual line that gets ran is
1 | clang-cl %CommonCompilerFlags% [Redacted]\project\code\jesse.cpp /LD %CommonLinkerFlags% -PDB:jesse_%random%.pdb /EXPORT:GameUpdate |

can you check that the %path% is properly propagated down to the build.bat?

Yup, it does.
Are you able to run clang-cl.exe successfully (including linker) from .bat file that calls VsDevCmd? Without calling 4coder.

Hmm, there seems to be progress here.

But I don't know how to address these errors, because I don't know what's causing them.
clang-cl.exe doesn't support exactly same arguments as cl.exe. There are differences: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#clang-cl
You probably would want to use clang native arguments - cl.exe compatible arguments cannot express all that clang supports. I think they are there only to make porting from cl.exe to clang a bit easier.

No idea. I don't use 4coder and have no idea how it works when calling external commands.
What happens if you put call to VsDevCmd.bat file inside build.bat?

Then 4coder is not a problem here. You need to figure how to use clang-cl, before putting it into 4coder.
If build.bat sets up environment (vsdevcmd.bat) and in same file calls clang-cl, then it shouldn't matter where from build.bat is called. I haven't used VS2017, but if vsdevcmd.bat is something like vcvarsall.bat from previous VS versions, then clang-cl should work after call to vsdevcmd unless something else is wrong.
