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

Hi @soloturn,

did you try to submit the issue to the Arch bug tracker for compiler_rt and stuff?

fanjiang commented on 2020-07-06 21:01 (UTC)

That is great :)

soloturn commented on 2020-07-06 19:29 (UTC)

i created a continues build now on github which should build it once a day: https://github.com/soloturn/swift-aur/actions

@soloturn I managed to go pass SR-13083 with the following patch:

build() {
     cd "$srcdir/swift"


     # By default in /etc/makepkg.conf this is "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
     # Which will break `compiler-rt`
     unset CPPFLAGS
     unset CFLAGS
     unset CXXFLAGS
     unset LDFLAGS

     export SWIFT_SOURCE_ROOT="$srcdir"
     export PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/core_perl"
     utils/build-script -R "${_common_build_params[@]}"

EDIT: I got it to compile, but it still failed at building SwiftPM.

thanks for testing this fanjiang, i added you as contributor to swift, and swift-language-git. i do not get this error with the git version and do report bugs in the hope we get a working version in a couple of months.

with 5.3-DEVELOPMENT i get: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-13083

Can we please update the package with the correct checksum?
