swift-everywhere-toolchain

Requirements

  • macOS 11.3
  • Xcode 12.5
  • Android Studio 4.1.3
  • Android NDK 21.4.7075529
  • Node 14.16.1 (node -v). Newer versions may also work, but not tested.
  • CMake 3.20.2 (cmake --version)
  • Ninja 1.10.2 (ninja --version)

Important

Keep tools like CMake and ninja up to date.

Using pre-built toolchain

Build of complete toolchain takes ~1.5h. Instead of building it you can just download and use already pre-built package from Releases page.

Setup and Build

  1. Check that CMake is installed. Install CMake if needed.

    which cmake
    brew install cmake
  2. Check that Ninja is installed. Install Ninja if needed.

    which ninja
    brew install ninja
  3. Check that Autotools is installed. Install Autotools if needed.

    which autoconf
    brew install autoconf
    
    which aclocal
    brew install automake
    
    which glibtool
    brew install libtool
    
    which pkg-config
    brew install pkg-config
  4. Check that git-lfs is installed. Install git-lfs if needed.

    which git-lfs
    brew install git-lfs
  5. Make sure that Xcode Build Tools properly configured.

    xcode-select --print-path
  6. Clone this repository.

    git clone https://github.com/vgorloff/swift-everywhere-toolchain.git
    cd swift-everywhere-toolchain
  7. Create a symbolic link to NDK installation directory.

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/ndk
    sudo ln -vsi ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/$VERSION /usr/local/ndk/$VERSION

    The placeholder $VERSION needs to be replaced with a version mentioned in file NDK_VERSION at the root of cloned repository.

  8. Start a build.

    node main.js
  9. Once the build completed, toolchain will be saved to folder ToolChain/swift-android-toolchain and compressed into archive ToolChain/swift-android-toolchain.tar.gz.

Usage

Please refer file Assets/Readme.md to see how to compile Swift files or build Swift packages using Toolchain.

Sample Projects

Sample projects can be found in a separate swift-everywhere-samples repository. Please look into Readme.md in that repository to get information about how to configure and build sample projects.
