Status of building Swift 3.0 on RHEL variants

Lane_Schwartz · 2016-09-22T19:28:30.000Z

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has successfully build Swift 3.0 from source on
RHEL, whether there are any gotchas I should know about before I give it a
try.

If found this (
Install Swift language on CentOS (Red Hat) - Stack Overflow),
which indicated that at that time Swift build system wasn't working on
RHEL, but that post is fairly old.

Thanks,
Lane

Yes, I have the 3.0-RELEASE version, from source, running perfectly on a Fedora 24 instance.

I started with GitHub - corinnekrych/swift-rpm: Swift RPM for Fedora, but it's a bit out of date and I had to clone it and update the script and spec with some changes; there are still a couple of manual steps but the end result is a working copy of Swift et al. every time.

I'll post to the group when I have the updated info,

Ron
