Linux Port

Open nuclearace opened this issue 10 years ago • 10 comments

Since apple has released the Swift source code http://swift.org/ we should look into whether this library can be made to compile on Linux.

This is a long-term goal.

https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Docs/Status.md going to be important for this library.

For that we will need a replacement for the objective-c Security framework.

What do you mean?

We can't use objective-c frameworks on linux. Security framework is an objective-c library, or at least I think so.

Well, I don't think anything in WebSocket is actually using Security. Since commenting it out doesn't seem to break anything.

I guess it's always imported with Foundation on Darwin.

Oh good, I thought we were using it for SSL.

Any updates on this?

So I have the linux branch to test this out... It's not looking good. I think it would require dropping ObjC support for the protocols or do the ugly thing done in that branch. Plus I'm seeing some URLSession crashes from unimplemented stuff.

Any chance Linux support will actually happen anytime soon? 🙁
