The Build and Packaging Workgroup will be holding its next meeting on Thursday, February 26, 2026 4:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time
This meeting will be open to anyone who has a topic they'd like to discuss. If you wish to participate, please reach out to @build-and-packaging-workgroup via DM with anything you'd like to add to the agenda for a link to the WebEx meeting.
In this workgroup meeting one of the topics we discussed was the role of the -sdk, -sysroot, and -resource-dir flags and their relation to Swift SDKs and compilation, especially as it pertains to Android. This was primarily in the context of SwiftPM and Swift Build, but we acknowledge that it's a complex issue that impacts other clients of the compiler as well.
Let's continue the discussion on the GitHub issue that @Finagolfin previously filed: Problems with the planned new cross-compilation model · Issue #79657 · swiftlang/swift · GitHub
I'm going to write up a summary of what I recall from Thursday along with some of my thoughts on some of the next steps we could take, there.
Thanks!
