Ok,
Bear with me as I am not a programmer. The Apple binaries comes in a zip file, the snap is now building, but whenever I try to run a very simple Swift program, it complains of not finding some headers (.h) and some libraries (.so) files. These are inside /usr/lib, which are not being included in the snap. I suppose I should point where these files are with the - prime option, however this is not working.
The latest yaml that I tested is below (not building):
name: swift
version: '4.1'
summary: The Swift Programming Language
description: |
Swift is a high-performance system programming language. It has a clean and
modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and
frameworks, and is memory safe by default.
