Hi,

congratulations for the job done so far! I wonder about the status this project. I assume it is not being actively developed anymore. Is there any possibility you could publish a document about the main difficulties you had to go through and the challenges ahead? That would surely help some of us consider taking over further development.

Thanks in advance!

D.

It seemed that this project is not active. In fact, I actively developed for MinGW port and wxSwift pilot. You can see it in the commit history of the 'upstream-with-windows' branch of this repo, and the master branch of the wxSwift.

I need some time for packing and releasing those build. You can see the Swift coded sample UI program running on Windows in a few days.

Thanks for interested in this project.

Thanks for your quick answer! I will have a look at those. Cheers!

Cool! Is it the intention to pull this fork back into the original apple/swift repository?

tinysun212 commented 7 years ago

@blasterinblack Please check https://github.com/SwiftForWindows/SwiftForWindows/releases/tag/v1.6

@Dev1an Yes, as I submitted multiple pool requests in the past, I will continue to submit PRs. However, it will take time for me to prepare and it will take time for people to review the submitted PR.

Thanks for your cheering. Please promote http://SwiftForWindows.github.io to your friends.

blasterinblack commented 7 years ago

I will promote it!

Btw, I am also working on yet another project for extending Swift's support for platforms. I will let you know as soon as I have something to show, maybe you will find it interesting.

Congratulations for such a great job!
