Build SPM for Android Toolchain

[dash2507]

Hello,

Recently I started working on Swift Toolchain for android. I successfully built swift-stdlib, libdispatch and foundation. Now I want use functionality of swift package manager like system-modules in android development.

For example, I want to build JNI Wrapper for jni.h in swift. But without SPM I have to manually provide path for module.modulemap file for jni.h every time I compile the source code.

So is there anyway that I can build and use SPM for android toolchain?

Thanks,
Darshan

I asked the same question not to long ago and the following is @compnerd’s answer. At 22 days old, I doubt the post has fallen very far out of date.

(Partial) Nightlies for android SDK

No, s-p-m is not really in a state where you can really port it to other platforms. I've looked at trying to get this working, but there is a significant amount of work still needed. I had a number of patches to remove the custom implementation which causes problems for portability and the idea is to move more of it to Foundation. Currently, the most effective way that I have found for building cross-platform packages has been CMake.

FWIW, I've also started working towards achieving the Windows port. It'll take some time but I suspect it'll be much easier to add support for other platforms once the initial bring up is done.

Is there a ballpark eta?

I am doing it in my free time so nope.
