No UICatalog.exe about swift-win32 HOT 5 CLOSED

Ah, I think that this is a documentation issue - the target builds the objects, not the actual executable. I need to figure out the correct command to build that. A PR to improve the documentation is certainly welcome :)

This works for me:

swift build -Xswiftc -use-ld=lld --product UICatalog

It also works without the flags:

swift build --product UICatalog

Should it?

In both cases, I get a working .exe. However, the UI elements look a bit older than those in your screenshot.

Ah, right, that change makes perfect sense.

You're correct about not needing the -Xswiftc -use-ld=lld as that now is implicit with SPM (at least as of the 10/27 snapshot).

The widgets looking old is expected if you did not manually copy the files to the correct location after building. That's currently a limitation of SPM that I'm not sure how to mitigate.

A PR to update the instructions would be wonderful 😄

Just the one-liner?

And is CMake still the recommended method, or can that be removed as well?

from swift-win32.

Yeah, the one liner :)

The CMake is still the recommended way until we can figure out the additional file copying step.
