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.
