Getting Started

On OS X

Although OS X is not a deployment platform for Swift Foundation, it is useful for development and test purposes.

In order to build on OS X, you will need:

  • The latest version of Xcode
  • The latest version of the OS X SDK (at this time: 10.11)

Build steps:

  1. Open Foundation.xcodeproj
  2. Build the Foundation target

Testing steps:

  1. Create a new Xcode workspace that includes both Foundation.xcodeproj and XCTest.xcodeproj (from the swift-corelibs-xctest repository). The Swift Core Libraries XCTest project is not the same as the one that comes with Xcode itself.
  2. Run (Cmd-R) the TestFoundation target

On Linux

You will need:

  • A supported distribution of Linux. At this time, we only support Ubuntu 15.10.
  • A recent version of the clang compiler and swiftc compiler. TODO: Instructions on how to get this from github.
  • Some additional tools and libraries:
  • sudo apt-get install ninja
  • sudo apt-get install libicu-dev
  • sudo apt-get install icu-devtools

Build steps:

  1. cd Foundation
  2. ./configure debug - This runs a python configuration script, and produces build.ninja for building a debug version of Foundation.
  3. ninja - This builds Foundation

Testing steps:

  1. ninja TestFoundation - This builds the TestFoundation executable.
  2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=Build/Foundation ./Build/TestFoundation/TestFoundation - Run the new TestFoundation executable against the Foundation you just built.
