Check dependencies failed when installing on Mac OS Sierra

[shaps80]

I ran the command:

brew install swiftlint -- which I've successfully run on previous versions of OSX

but I get an error during the installation.

I realise this is still not a formal release and even the warnings above mention this is not necessarily a tested/supported configuration, but no one else seems to be mentioning any issues around this.

Additional Notes:

• xcode-select is set to use Xcode 8, running with Xcode 7 presents an error stating my version of Xcode is out of date. This appears to be more a brew issue however, than a SwiftLint issue.
• This is also a FRESH OSX install, not an upgrade.
• The resulting make file is attached 01.make.zip

For those having similar issues around this here's the fix:

https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/releases/

The wonderful dev's at Realm provide a fantastic PKG installer that works like a charm. I should've checked this first -- my bad :)

Regarding the problem above, this is related to brew more than it is SwiftLint.

If you have xcode-select setup to use Xcode 8, you'll see the error above since SwiftLint requires Swift 2.2

However if you then switch back to using Xcode 7, brew will complain about an outdated version of Xcode. So, use the package installer and smile ;)

@shaps80 Hi, I'm a maintainer of Homebrew.

May I interpret this comment as SwiftLint is not supposed to work with Xcode 8 (Swift 3), and consequently macOS Sierra? I certainly don't think there's a Sierra + Xcode 7 setup and won't call it a "problem" of brew.

Oh sorry, you're not a member of the SwiftLint team.

Hey,

Apologies if I offended you. I certainly didn't mean it in a bad way. I love brew and you guys have done a fantastic job! Don't know what I'd do without it ;-)

You're right, it's not a problem, however it doesn't appear to be a supported configuration and since many of us will require swift 2.2 for some time to come, it means I can't use brew to install libs that depend on it while running Sierra.

Unless you can tell me how? ;-)

I'm not offended, I'm trying to figure out this packaging problem myself. See #815 and Homebrew/homebrew-core#4841.

[shaps80]

Ah I see. Glad to hear!

Let me know if I can help at all.

Thanks,

Shaps
