Cross-platform?

[lorenalexm]

Looking over the README, I see the Bundling Your Extension section detailing building our extension and filling out the library portion for each platform. Please excuse my ignorance or oversight, but I don't see anywhere explaining how to build on/for other platforms such as Windows?

I know the Swift team made an announcement in 2020 for Swift on Windows support, and the forums have some activity to them. But is building with SwiftGodot for Windows/UWP possible at this point?

Thanks for your time!

SwiftGodot doesn’t have any Apple specific dependencies. But I don’t generally work on windows or Linux, so it really comes down to people trying it out.

I don’t see anything that would prevent it from working

I appreciate you getting back to me! I will try to carve out some time in the near future to put together some Github build scripts and see how compilation on the Windows platform goes. I will report back as soon as I have something. Thanks again.

Been playing around a bit with trying to compile for the Windows platforms. The build process fails within DocModel.swift due to the regex patterns such as:

DocModel.swift:186:26: let rxEnumMethodMember = #/\[(enum|method|member) ([\w\.@_/]+)\]/#

Along with issues with not being able to infer a the Output parameter, which may be related to the regex issues.

DocModel.swift:412:19: mod = mod.replacing(rxTypeName, with: { x in

The output from the build action can be found here.

Doing a bit of reading regarding the issues, and it seems the Swift compiler on Windows has some issues with regex literals not being supported? Found on the Swift Forums. I am a bit over my head here, but just wanted to pass along current findings if you had any ideas.

Cross-platform would be one of my primary motivations for using SwiftGodot also.
