Sure! In this example, I have built libgit2. I have a directory called Git, and
inside that I have the following module map:
module Git [system] {
header "<my path>/libgit2/include/git2.h"
export *
}
When I run, I use:
swift -I <path-to-“Git”-directory> -L <path-to-built-libgit2> -lgit2 foo.swift
inside foo.swift I can:
import Git
// … use libGit2
Read more about how to write a more appropriate module.map file for your
purposes at https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Modules.html
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Modules.html>. For example, you might be able to
define link flags inside the module.map, use umbrella directories, submodules,
etc.
