[swift-users] Help on how to compile a project.

[Marcel Rebouças]

Hello Shawn, thanks for the response.

I believe creating an alternative tool chain and setting up Xcode to use it
would work for me. I didn't thought of it, since at first I thought of
doing it kinda as a third party, only using the console. I'll start looking
on how to do it with the Xcode.
