[swift-users] Learning OpenGL with Swift

[Luz Violeta]

In my case, I've solved it by making a swift build and then editing the 
recently downloaded file (Packages/CGLFW3Linux-1.0.0/module.modulemap). 
Changing out the link statement from glfw3 to glfw.

TBH, I think there should be a way to specify fallbacks for a link 
declaration to tackle these awkward moments where lack of standarization 
across distros comes to bite at compile time (or even, across release 
versions). Like, try X and if it doesn't exist try Y and so on (grabbing 
whatever matchs first)

Otherwise, it's gonna be rough using stuff from the swift ecosystem and 
editing modulemaps and writing instruction for users to do that.

Hugs.
