No UICatalog.exe
svanimpe opened this issue · 5 comments
When I build the UICatalog with swift build -Xswiftc -use-ld=lld --target UICatalog, there is no UICatalog.exe anywhere in the .build directory.
I don't see any errors during the compilation process. There's just no executable to be found.
Ah, I think that this is a documentation issue - the target builds the objects, not the actual executable. I need to figure out the correct command to build that. A PR to improve the documentation is certainly welcome :)
This works for me:
swift build -Xswiftc -use-ld=lld --product UICatalog
It also works without the flags:
swift build --product UICatalog
Should it?
In both cases, I get a working .exe. However, the UI elements look a bit older than those in your screenshot.
Ah, right, that change makes perfect sense.
You're correct about not needing the -Xswiftc -use-ld=lld as that now is implicit with SPM (at least as of the 10/27 snapshot).
The widgets looking old is expected if you did not manually copy the files to the correct location after building. That's currently a limitation of SPM that I'm not sure how to mitigate.
A PR to update the instructions would be wonderful 😄
Just the one-liner?
And is CMake still the recommended method, or can that be removed as well?
Yeah, the one liner :)
The CMake is still the recommended way until we can figure out the additional file copying step.
