Can't build swift from source because swiftrt.o not shipped into ~/.local/lib

[ADKaster]

When building swift from source, the swift build (./utils/build-script --release) fails withswiftly use main-snapshot-2024-07-15` due to a missing lib file.

Are you sure this is the correct place to report this? This is the repository for swiftly the swift installation manager

[ADKaster]

I think the real issue I was hitting is this one you mentioned here? https://github.com/swiftlang/swiftly/issues/122#issuecomment-2171171813

I was able to get swift as installed by swiftly to find that file by symlinking the lib directory.

Ok going to close this as a duplicate
