To setup this environment a few steps are necessary:

* Create a new workspace.

* Create Xcode projects for LLVM and Swift with `utils/build-script --skip-build --xcode --skip-early-swift-driver`. Beside configuring, this needs to build a few LLVM files which are need to configure the swift project.

* Add the generated LLVM and Swift projects to your workspace. They can be found in the build directories `build/Xcode-DebugAssert/llvm-macosx-x86_64/LLVM.xcodeproj` and `build/Xcode-DebugAssert/swift-macosx-x86_64/Swift.xcodeproj`.
9797
* Add the `swift/SwiftCompilerSources` package to the workspace.
9898
* Create a new empty project `build-targets` (or however you want to name it) in the workspace, using the "External Build System" template.
9999
* For each compiler tool you want to build (`swift-frontend`, `sil-opt`, etc.), add an "External Build System" target to the `build-targets` project.

* In the "Info" section of the target configuration, set

* the _Build Tool_ to the full path of the `ninja` command
102-
* the _Argument_ to the tool name (e.g. `swift-frontend`)
103-
* the _Directory_ to the ninja swift build directory, e.g. `/absolute/path/to/build/Ninja-DebugAssert/swift-macosx-x86_64`. For debugging to work, this has to be a debug build of course.

Now you are all set. You can build and debug like with a native Xcode project.

If the project structure changes, e.g. new source files are added or deleted, you just have to re-create the LLVM and Swift projects with `utils/build-script --skip-build --xcode --skip-early-swift-driver`.
