[swift-users] Binding Regular C Functions (Gtk, Cairo, etc.)

[Max Howell]

No, if the directories are separate they are separate to `swift build`.

The problem is it already cloned CCairo into your example, and a dependency manager should not change cloned dependencies as part of the build process.

I agree it is confusing, but I will be adding warnings and information to help here. It’s early days.
