Hi,
I think it happened just prior to last weekend, but dev builds seem to have disappeared. I was looking to implement the "swift-build" thing that seems to be missing from XCode 7.3. The missing toolchain will stop anyone in their tracks
That seems to be evident from the missing "container (or toolchain)" thingy (in 7.3's preferences) that would/should have the default toolchain (see snip). There was a discussion that a 24 March dev build has done the trick.
Help.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi peeps,
Apologies for the noise, it's sometimes hard to keep track of forums, mailing lists, download sites and what-have-yous.
To start with, please allow me to complete a sentence in my original submission ... The missing toolchain will stop anyone in their tracks when they reach the bit about using the build system (https://swift.org/getting-started/#using-the-build-system) Trying swift build ... (anything) in the shell will fail.
Looking @ https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-build-dev/Week-of-Mon-20160321/000365.html, the author indicates swift-build is not part of Xcode 7.3. To use SwiftPM with Xcode 7.x you will need to download a Swift 3 toolchain from https://swift.org <https://swift.org/>. That's where I saw the dev builds and I got confuded (you'd think there would be one place for XCode, etc).
So, while the Swift "getting-started" page says v 2.2 is part of XCode 7.3, 2 pages further down, less than 10 instructions sections later (two pages down on a browser), it fails - apparently unless the dev builds are installed. That's odd.
Ok - so the XCode release notes states alternative toolchains (from swift.org) can be installed, but there's nothing to say "swift build" can't be used. Building Swift packages within XCode seem to work. That's odd.
If that's what KMT was alluding to, I guess I need to think more obliquely these days.
Thank you,
Paul
