relates to:

  • SR-11411 GettingStarted.md of swift-corelibs-foundation should be updated

Issue Description:

Ref:https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/swift-4.2-branch/Docs/GettingStarted.md

After the complete Swift build has finished, you can iterate quickly on Foundation itself by simply invoking ninja in the Foundation directory.

In Swift 4.2 instructions work as outlined in the docs.
In swift-5.0-branch and the master this no longer works.
When running ninja from the swift-corelibs-foundation directory you get the following error.

$ ninja
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

Has this method beed updated, or is this not possible anymore?

I think the instructions should be updated to say "in the Foundation build directory". @compnerd, @millenomi?

We have a stuck patch to update that file. I'll bump it up a little bit.

The GettingStarted.md document has been updated in master

https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Docs/GettingStarted.md

to document usage of the new CMake build that does incremental builds now
