Hi, Joel. These are procedures to build the Swift compiler/library in Cygwin and in Windows (MSVC). It has some interim workaround to resolve problems.
I think you will take time to build these. If you failed at some steps or have any questions, let me know them. https://github.com/tinysun212/swift-windows/blob/swift-msvc-20160428/BUILD-WINDOWS.md https://github.com/tinysun212/swift-windows/blob/swift-cygwin-20160428/BUILD-CYGWIN-64.md - Han Sanjign 2016-04-28 11:55 GMT+09:00 Erica Sadun <er...@ericasadun.com>: > Please whoever is doing the windows port, please drop me an email and let > me know how things are going, what challenges you're facing etc. I'd like > to get you a little publicity.
