Build error (Swift 3.0 Xcode 8.0 Beta 2) about markdown HOT 13 CLOSED

@iamjono Hi, thanks for the feedback!

Have you done prerequisites?

brew install discount

from markdown.

Yep...

$ brew install discount
Warning: discount-2.2.0 already installed

from markdown.

@iamjono: could you, please, check if it works with Carthage on your system?

from markdown.

I'm not using Carthage... I'm on Xcode 8.0 Beta 2, using SPM.
If I'm using SPM it should work without Carthage I would have presumed?

from markdown.

@iamjono: Yes, it should. I'm just asking if you could try it with Carthage to find out if the issue is your system specific.

from markdown.

Yeah I did just try it with Carthage - no joy.

Note that there was already an entry in the linked frameworks and libraries for the Markdown.framework.

I should also note that it doesn't compile on the commandline using swift build, nor in Xcode.

from markdown.

@iamjono: thanks a lot! Looks like something new. Will take a look at it asap.

from markdown.

That would be awesome, thanks!

Hi @iamjono ,
For the proper build, you have to add a header and library path to swift build command. So your command will be like this:
swift build -Xcc -I/usr/local/include -Xlinker -L/usr/local/lib

But seems as Markdown isn't ported to Swift 3.0 yet :(

from markdown.

Yep figured as much, on both counts.

I really wanted to use it for generating the HTML docs from markdown for https://github.com/PerfectlySoft/PerfectDocs :)

@iamjono @ypopovych I will get my hands on this this week to make it both Swift 2/3 compatible

from markdown.

@ypopovych @iamjono I've published a new version which supports Swift 3.0 (works with the newest Xcode). For now there is no possibility to build it without additional flags on Mac with swift build as there is no support for pkg-config in the underlying system library.

So, to build it on a Mac with swift build you still have to use these flags:

swift build -Xcc -I/usr/local/include -Xlinker -L/usr/local/lib

I will talk to the system library developers about the pkg-config issue. Let's see what we can do.

from markdown.

@iamjono @ypopovych Some good news here, guys. I've made a PR to libmarkdown with pkg-config and it's merged already. Waiting for a new release.
