[Swift-devel] Running swift after fresh install giving errors

[Michael Wilde]

Yadu, can you verify that you are running the swift command from the bin/ directory that was generated when you built swift?

Since you built it from the svn trunk src it seems, you should be doing something like this to run it (assuming your src tree start at $HOME/swift/src/):

PATH=$HOME/swift/src/cog/modules/swift/dist/swift-svn/bin::$PATH

swift mytest.swift

The swift command expects to find the jar files it requires at swift/bin/../lib as you can see from these lines in the bin/swift shell script:
---
                 SWIFT_HOME=`dirname $MY_PATH`"/.."
                 if [ ! -f "$SWIFT_HOME/lib/cog-swift-svn.jar" ] && [ ! -f "$SWIFT_HOME/lib/cog.jar" ] ; then
                     echo "Error: SWIFT_HOME is not set, and all attempts at guessing it failed"
