While I was able to build this in a clean chroot, consider this package to be a wip.

  • According to this comment, swift does need swift to build. So if you haven't previously built this package, you'll need aur/swift-bin.

  • This package attempts to install only swift to /usr/lib/swift.

    • Building (5.9.2) takes about 15GB. Package is 650MB. Installed size is 2GB.
    • cmark and llvm are built, but not installed. If they are installed, space requirement increases to 20GB, package is 2GB, and installed size 7GB.
    • Above space requirements count only the build tree. Does not include space needed to download and install depends. Does not include temporary files that may have been created and deleted by the build system.
    • I don't know if everything actually works correctly. Someone who knows better would have to check. (I would use swift-bin, especially since it's already needed to build this.)

  • This package does not make debug symbols. With debugging enabled, over 70GB would be required to build. I don't know package or install size because I hadn't figured out how to install at that time.

to speed up check out of the repositories, use shallow or sparse clone, e.g.:

  GITFLAGS="--depth=1" paru -S swift-language

other options to install swift are currently:

  • swift-bin, which repackages tachoknights official released centos8 build: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swift-bin/. the install is quick, no hours of waiting until everything is compiled.

  • latest from git, in swift-language-git. there is a binary built with github actions, but this build is not particularly stable, sometimes it uses more resources than github allows, sometimes it fails for a change upstream. the version number is taken out of the official tag on apple/swift main branch: e.g. swift-language-git-swift.DEVELOPMENT.SNAPSHOT.2020.09.28.a.r208.g6651f6e55d4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. so this one is the development tag from sep 28 + 208 commits, the commit hash is g6651f: aur - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swift-language-git. gh-actions: https://github.com/soloturn/swift-aur/releases/tag/latest

there was an 5.4.1 binary build, native arch, by fanjiang, built on GCE: https://github.com/ProfFan/swift-aur/releases

Ready-made packages: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s4t5gdqtp05391u/AADrWr2XAmuzOhY-q3ewmq_Ia?dl=0 @Zrax Any chance you could incorporate SourceKit (libsourcekitdInProc.so) into the package?: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/3594#issuecomment-234169759

You can build swift without downgrading your installation by building in a chroot, like this: 1. Download the required versions of clang and llvm-libs from ALA. Also build libkqueue. 2. Install the devtools package 3. Run extra-x86_64-build in the folder containing the swift PKGBUILD. Append `--` and then `-I packagefile.pkg.tar.gz` to the extra-x86_64-build arguments for every dependency not in your pacman repos. On my system I needed to append `-- -I clang-3.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz -I llvm-libs-3.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz -I ../libkqueue/libkqueue-2.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz`. Your paths may vary.

In short, to make swift 3.0.x work with clang 3.9, you'd have to backport a number of fixes from Apple's main development branch. I've tried this a couple of times, but unfortunately have yet to produce a successful build. Unfortunately, the developers have not tried to keep the 3.0 branch working with newer clang versions, so the work to fix it has not been backported. Another option I've considered but haven't tried yet is to make a clang38 package that can be installed alongside the system clang, so you at least don't have to downgrade your existing clang just for compiling swift.

strikr commented on 2017-01-26 00:43 (UTC)

is there a workaround to build the package, without having to downgrade clang to 'clang=3.8.1' ?

Zrax commented on 2017-01-18 20:59 (UTC)

Hi @Tuetuopay: I've incorporated your patch. Thanks.

Tuetuopay commented on 2017-01-18 09:53 (UTC)

Here is a patch that implements commit 09cbffb. Without it, swift fails to compile. Is it possible to integrate it in the package ? https://github.com/Tuetuopay/swift-language/commit/c8ec1ca310564531793785aea3459f874650a860

Any way to build this package without downgrading clang and the associated tools?

Zrax commented on 2016-12-06 16:52 (UTC)

You can find the older packages in the Arch package archive: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/

tarasis commented on 2016-12-06 14:44 (UTC)

For those of us without an old version of clang hanging around, whats the easiest way to get 3.8.1 for building this package?

Zrax commented on 2016-11-23 22:17 (UTC)

Hmm, I had patched the preview releases (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swift-preview), but I don't remember encountering it here... Sorry about that; should be fixed now.
