RLovelett/swift-aur

Temporary location for my Swift PKGBUILD. I'll put it on AUR once I get it working right.

Swift Language Package (for Arch Linux)

This repository, and PKGBUILD, should allow for building the Swift Language from source for use on Arch Linux.

The goal of this project is to combine any necessary patches with a PKGBUILD defintion that leads to a buildable Swift package. Any patch that is provided here is also expected to be submitted upstream for inclusion in the mainline repository.

How to build

$ git clone https://github.com/RLovelett/swift-aur.git
$ cd swift-aur
$ makepkg --syncdeps --rmdeps [--install]

• The [--install] is meant to indicate that flag is optional. Only provide it if you wish to install the resulting package.

Additionally building inside an Arch chroot is supported.

$ git clone https://github.com/RLovelett/swift-aur.git
$ cd swift-aur
$ /usr/bin/extra-x86_64-build

How to install

There are two available options. The first is just combine the build and install steps by running makepkg --syncdeps --rmdeps --install.

The other is to use pacman to install the resulting package from the makepkg build (e.g., pacman -U swiftc-2.2.20160106a.r245.g162becc-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz).
