Visual Studio 2019 or newer is needed to build the Swift SDK for Android on Windows.
- Install the latest version of Visual Studio
- Make sure to include the android NDK in your installation.
- Configure git to work with Unix file endings
- Clone
apple/swift-llvm
into a directory namedllvm
- Clone
apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch
into a directory namedswift-corelibs-libdispatch
- Clone
apple/swift-corelibs-foundation
into a directory namedswift-corelibs-foundation
- Clone
apple/swift-corelibs-xctest
into a directory namedswift-corelibs-xctest
- Clone

into a directory namedswift-build
- Currently, other repositories in the Swift project have not been tested and may not be supported.
This guide assumes that your sources live at the root of S:
. If your sources
live elsewhere, you can create a substitution for this:
subst S: <path to sources>
S:
git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-llvm llvm
git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch swift-corelibs-libdispatch
git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation swift-corelibs-foundation
git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-xctest swift-corelibs-xctest
git clone https://github.com/compnerd/swift-build swift-build
- Download the toolchain, ICU, libxml2, and curl for android from
Azure into
S:\b\a\Library
.
- You can alternatively use
swift-build.py
from compnerd/swift-build under the utilities directory.
