build problem for Ubuntu 18.04

[marijn-d]

Hello, I'd like to try your project/extension but I cannot seem to build it. Probably overlooking something very obvious.. Does this error ring any bells by any chance? (when building from sourcekite directory)

swift build -Xlinker -l:sourcekitdInProc warning: PackageDescription API v3 is deprecated and will be removed in the future; used by package(s): sourcekite Compile Swift Module 'sourcekite' (2 sources) Linking ./.build/x86_64-unknown-linux/debug/sourcekite /usr/bin/ld.gold: fatal error: //usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7.3.0/../../../sourcekitdInProc: pread failed: Is a directory clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Welcome @marijn-d!

I haven’t compiled sourcekite on Linux for a while now. Maybe these install steps for making the build pass on CI help you. https://github.com/vknabel/sourcekite/blob/e7a09696e7f2ae151d22cff70dac9f70229cf7ee/.travis.yml#L103

Though I would recommend you to use Apple’s official LSP as it will improve faster and is easier to compile. https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp/tree/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2019-03-25-a#building-on-linux

You can either use this vscode extension or compile your own https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp/tree/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2019-03-25-a/Editors.

If you choose to stay with this extension, you need to add settings as described in https://github.com/vknabel/vscode-swift-development-environment#alternative-language-server.

No matter what, feel free to add further comments here. 😊

hi, thanks for your quick reply! I'll get started with your suggestions

I found and fixed an issue with sourcekite and Swift 5 and updated the documentation in case it may help you. https://github.com/vknabel/vscode-swift-development-environment#installation

Sourcekite now builds on top of SourceKitten and does not link sourcekitdInProc anymore.
