I have been trying to get a start with swift(coming from Rust) on Windows. I have had several problems building a number of examples posted but have one problem that is consistent across them all. I get the following error:

Failed to load TodoKit/Package.swift: 'todokit': error: invalidManifestFormat(":1:10: note: in file included from :1:\r\r\n#include "LibcOverlayShims.h"\r\r\n ^\r\r\nC:\Library\Developer\Platforms\Windows.platform\Developer\SDKs\Windows.sdk\usr\lib\swift\shims/LibcOverlayShims.h:27:10: error: 'errno.h' file not found\r\r\n#include <errno.h>\r\r\n ^\r\r\n:0: error: could not build C module 'SwiftOverlayShims'", diagnosticFile: nil)
error: fatalError

It would seem to me that I need to add to the manifest the include directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\ucrt\ which contains the errno.h

The latest site that I am drawing from is:

Thanks,

This seems like an installation issue. Did you accidentally install Swift before Visual Studio? Running the repair from add/remove programs should hopefully repair that.

No I had been using Visual Studio 2019 for a number of years before trying Swift. I have reinstalled both environments several times with Swift being the last.

It is curious about error.h not found. If that is a real error when swift build is executed I wonder

  1. What is the implicit environment for finding local resources
  2. How do I add local resources. Most of the examples I see involve add local package rather the elements like mvsc include files

What version of Swift are you using?

This would be the environment variables setup by the "VS2019 Native Developer Command Prompt" (aka vsdevcmd)

The MSVC includes are picked up implicitly as they are used for the C runtime, C++ runtime, and Windows SDK.
