How to create custom module without the package manager?

Using Swift
1

Hi all,

I'd like to create my own simple custom module, but I don't want to use the
complicated package manager. Package manager is overkill for a simple
single source file module. So, here's what I've tried.

file: greet.swift

public func askName() {
print("What's your name? ")
let name = readLine()!
print("Hello, \(name)... good to see you!")
}

file: main.swift

askName()

terminal:

$ swiftc -emit-library -emit-object greet.swift -module-name greet

emits greet.o

$ ar rcs libgreet.a greet.o

emits libgreet.a

$ swiftc -emit-module greet.swift -module-name greet

emits greet.swiftmodule and greet.swiftdoc

All went well, so I think now I already have had the "greet" module. Let's
try to use it…

file: test.swift

import greet
askName()

terminal:

$ swiftc test.swift
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-F/home/username'
/tmp/test-b63aab.o: In function `main':
/tmp/test-b63aab.o:(.text+0x41): undefined reference to
`_TF5greet7askNameFT_T_'
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
<unknown>:0: error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)

What's happening? What's wrong? How can I fix it?

Thank you.

Sorry… forgot to say. I'm using Swift v.2.2 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04.

Sorry… I answer my own question. It need -l<module-name> argument. So, the
last command should be:

$ swiftc test.swift -lgreet

then it emitted a runnable app. I wonder why does it need an explicit
module name in the command line? While there is already an import clause
within the source file. Anyway, problem solved.

Thank you. :)

hi,
here is my test under mac os x

simple version
$swiftc -emit-module -emit-library greet.swift
emit greet.swiftdoc greet.swiftmodule libgreet.dylib
$swiftc -I. -L. -lgreet test.swift
emit test

detailed version
$swiftc -emit-module -emit-library -module-name greet -module-link-name mm
-o libmm.dylib greet.swift
emit greet.swiftdoc greet.swiftmodule libmm.dylib
$swiftc -I. -L. -lmm test.swift
emit test

I've made a bash script to automate custom module compilation on Linux.
