This is a Swift Package that fills the cross-platform gap necessary to take Swift to new platforms. The package uses Zig's amazing cross-platform compilation capabilities to build native binaries for the supported platforms.
Warning
The package is currently work in progress.
- Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:tuist/CrossFoundation.git. - Install the dependencies:
mise install. - Build the project:
mise run build.
We chose Zig to improve the experience of contributing to the project. Thanks to Zig, you can cross-compile targetting OSs like Windows or Linux from your Mac, and Zig will ensure the right linking against the platform libc instance is in place. Without it, you'd need a Windows or Linux machine to build the project and ensure the linking is valid.
Since SwiftPM doesn't support resolving a distributed graph that includes binaries, binaries and headers for the supported platforms are included in the Git repository under Sources/CrossFoundation/Native such that they are checked out when SwiftPM clones the repository.
Note
The binaries are not yet included in the repository, but you can build them locally by running mise run build:zig.
