[Question] Swift installation under Ubuntu 18.04 #9

Closed lf-araujo closed 5 years ago

Dear @rhx , thank you for this package. I have been following it for a long time now. I decided to move to Ubuntu in order to get more serious about developing with Swift. I can only see swift binaries for version 4.2-dev, using these your (and several other projects on github) does not work.

How did you install Swift 4.1 on Ubuntu 18.04?

I hope you don't find this question an annoyance, as it is not related to your project, but the linux support in Swift is lacking right now. Thank you.

lf-araujo commented 5 years ago

Will close it as I found a workaround, building 4.2 from source is enough to get the code building. The problem is with current 4.2-dev.

rhx commented 5 years ago

Also, you can find binary snapshots of swift-4.2 on https://swift.org/download/#snapshots (look for "Swift 4.2 Convergence snapshots" and "Swift 4.2 Development").

Thank you, I was using Swift 4.2 Development. Haven't tried convergence, though.
