Swift build failure on AUR package

#1

I am aware that this is a non-official package, but would appreciate any help.

This is the build error:

Thank you for reading,

#2

I ran into similar issues when building SPM natively on Android, which I had to work around by passing in some preprocessor definitions. In this case, my guess is that some C types are off because of the glibc patch you're using, which I guess is to make sure x86 works?

I've been building and testing these Swift repos from unpatched source on Arch x86_64 for most of this year without a problem, including the 5.1 source release, maybe try building without that patch and see what happens. Either way, the problem seems to be that the Swift compiler's clang importer is getting C types from headers that this Swift module doesn't expect.

#3

Sorry, after actually looking at your errors (rather than assuming that such type errors are caused by the same reason as Android), those are actually Swift variables that it seems to be getting the types wrong for, which could be a compiler bug. I think I've seen similar flakiness before, might go away on a clean rebuild, ie it's usually not reproducible.

I still think that glibc patch is old and may not be needed anymore, or at the very least you should look into modifying the CMake build scripts instead so that it isn't needed, but it probably isn't the cause of these errors as I guessed.

#4

Looks like my first guess was right after all, try that patch and see if it fixes the build for you.
