CFirebird

Modulemap to use fbclient library on linux and macOS. The Firebird library is not provided, you have to install it yourself.

Linking the Firbird library

Using linkerSettings

let package = Package(
	name: "YourLibrary",
	...
	targets: [
		.target(name: "your-target", linkerSettings: [.unsafeFlags(["-L/usr/local/lib"])])
	]
)

The drawback of this is that SwiftPM disable compilation for remote package dependencies that contains unsafe flags.

Using pkg-config
