A sample project based on building Swift from scratch on Linux. The project is set up to allow you to use Swift 3, Swift Package Manager, the new Swift-based Foundation, and the new Swift Dispatch (GCD) module.

This project is set up to build with Docker so that (1) you don't have to build the Swift binaries over and over again each time you change your application and (2) so that the output can be run in a portable manner. This build is not "immutable" in the sense that it tracks Swift version 3.0 (which is not yet finalized). Periodically clearing the Docker build machine's image cache will allow you to grab fresh Swift sources. This would be a good idea as the codebase evolves and gets closer to release.

You can clone this repository, then rename the directory to your project name, edit the name of the package in Package.swift, and edit the name of the "CMD" binary in Dockerfile.

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t username/appname .

NOTE: This will take a long time the first time you run it. It shouldn't on subsequent runs.

docker run username/appname
