Building DriveWire4 for Swift

You can run your DriveWire server via swift application. If you are using a Macintosh there is no reason not to have this service running on your mac for your Foenix. Here are some basic directions to help you build it.

Prerequisites

• xcode - https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
• drivewire4 - https://github.com/boisy/DriveWire.git

Install xcode from the App Store app.

Pull the drivewire repo from boisy:

 git clone https://github.com/boisy/DriveWire.git
 cd DriveWire/swift

Let try and build this.

~/code/DriveWire/swift (main) $ swift build
warning: could not determine XCTest paths: terminated(1): /usr/bin/xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-platform-path output:
    xcrun: error: unable to lookup item 'PlatformPath' from command line tools installation
    xcrun: error: unable to lookup item 'PlatformPath' in SDK '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk'
    

The paths are not right on this Mac. I had installed Command Line Tools to use with brew, perhaps that is an issue?

$ xcode-select -p
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Yes, that is an issue. We need to move this path to the real xcode we installed...

Set Path in Xcode:

• Open Xcode, choose Settings
• Go to Locations
• Set pulldown to xcode
• quit xcode

Now path should be set right in terminal:

$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Lets build it:

$ swift build
error: Could not find Package.swift in this directory or any of its parent directories.

Need to package init this project? Not sure but a friend helped me out with this command:

$ swift package init
Creating library package: swift
Creating Package.swift
Creating .gitignore
Creating Sources/
Creating Sources/swift/swift.swift
Creating Tests/
Creating Tests/swiftTests/
Creating Tests/swiftTests/swiftTests.swift

Now lets build:

$ swift build
Building for debugging...
[4/4] Compiling swift swift.swift
Build complete! (1.18s)

And we are done. More updates to runnig and configuring it soon.
