Can not build with Swift 5.9.1

[tonka3000]

I tried to build the project with the 5.9.1 build from https://www.swift.org/download but I always get the same error with CoreAnimation.

Any idea what is wrong here? Static vs dynamic build?

You are running in the wrong environment. As the instructions state, run from a VS developer cmd shell. /usr/bin/link would onky appear if you are using bash as the shell.

[tonka3000]

Thanks, that worked. It is strange that cmake presets don't bootstrap the environment like it is possible with vscode in non cmake-preset cases, but this seems to be intentional from cmake.

I missing the instructions because they are in the swift package manager section. Would you accept a PR where I would update the README in that regard for the cmake section? Just in case somebody else have the same issue.

@tonka3000 Absolutely!

@compnerd I add #769 with the update in the Readme

One thing I hit with 5.9 when I used SPM to build.

It always throw an error

error: 'swift-win32': package 'package@swift-5.9.swift' is using Swift tools version 3.1.0 which is no longer supported; consider using '// swift-tools-version: 5.9' to specify the current tools version

when I type swift build --product UICatalog.

I was only able to fix it by copy Package@swift-5.4.swift to Package@swift-5.9.swift and change the swift-tools-version to 5.9. I also need add build extra target for CoreAnimation back as it was done in Package.swift, otherwise I always get an error when it tried to import CoreAnimation. I have a full impl. in my fork here

Maybe there are better ways to do that, but I was my first time playing with swift and the redirect package.swift files seems not to allow the declaration of another swift-tools-version.

[compnerd]

Hmm, I think that something weird is going on. SPM should be using Package.swift, which does indicate swift-tools-version:5.7. The redirection is something very recent that I introduced so that I can start ripping out some of the complexity in the build rules.

The intent is to have a version for the older releases and have the latest release use Package.swift.

This does sound like a separate issue, perhaps we should create a new issue to track and discuss it?
