Unable to compile and generate Xcode project

Development Compiler

I cloned the swift repo per the instructions in the README. When I run this command on the command line:

swift/utils/build-script --release-debuginfo --debug-swift --xcode

The build-script fails with this message:

=== BUILD AGGREGATE TARGET ALL_BUILD OF PROJECT LLVM WITH CONFIGURATION RelWithDebInfo ===

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have the latest Xcode beta installed and enabled with xcode-select? I wonder if your issue is caused by using Xcode 10 if that's the case.

3

I have the Xcode 11 beta installed but it seems the script (and Xcode select) use Xcode 10.2.

4

That might be the reason for the failure, the README specifies that Xcode 11 is now a requirement when building for macOS. You can switch with sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer

I missed that. I’ll give it a try. Thanks so much!

Hi Kiel, (thanks Max), I am having similar issues ... where to place the various components, and how to switch pathing backwards and forwards as I move from production work to beta work.

Is your Xcode-beta.app installed under /Applications as Max suggests ?
How did you "install" it there using the Xcode_11_Beta_2.xip ?

I have posed other questions in my own thread, perhaps you could give me an insight into how you addressed these installation steps? Thanks In Advance -- Ed

Q1: where did you install/run the Xcode_11_beta_2.XIP file ?
Q2: similarly where did you install the "Trunk Development (Master) Snapshot", if at all ?
Q3: similarly, using home-brew, where (i.e. what's the best place) did you install ninja ?
Q4: similarly, using home-brew, where did you install CMake ?
Q5. similarly, where did you clone, debug, build, and test Swift 5.1 from GitHub ?
in a home directory like /swift-master/swift ?

I think it's possible there may be an issue with latest master even if building with the correct version of Xcode selected. I'm seeing the same clang: No such file or directory error as @kiel after rebasing a branch which previously built fine with Xcode 11.

Currently trying a build with ./utils/build-script --debug --xcode to see if it makes any difference

Edit: FWIW, the full debug build seems to be working

Mine crashed the first time ... not enough space ! some of the free space estimates were too low ... hence rebuilding my system ... and wanting to know what are best practices

Looks like SR-10998 / this PR will fix my build issues.
