Building
Currently, swift-package-editor
can only be built with the SwiftPM CLI. Building the package with Xcode will succeed, but fail at runtime due to linker issues.
Because swift-package-editor
depends on swift-syntax
to edit Package.swift
files, it must also be built using a toolchain which closely matches the resolved version of that package. Because swift-syntax
is integrated using a branch dependency on main
, usually this is the most recent Swift nightly snapshot. If SWIFTCI_USE_LOCAL_DEPS
is set, a checkout of swift-syntax
next to swift-package-editor
will be used instead. This is intended for use in a build-script build of the Swift toolchain.
Installing
Run ./Utilities/build-script-helper.py install -h
for details.
