[swift-users] Linux - How to use C libs

[Damien BRUN]

Works with simple libs which can be referenced by a simple path.
With Gdk/Gtk who share a single include dir, module compilation can't
find its way.
No matter what I try, I end up with :

<module-includes>:1:10: note: in file included from <module-includes>:1:
#include "gtk/gtk.h"
             ^
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h:30:10: error: 'gdk/gdk.h' file not found
#include <gdk/gdk.h>

Seems like one would have to rewrite gtk/gdk headers to please clang...
