Discussion

Use system library targets to adapt a library installed on the system to work with Swift packages. Such libraries are generally installed by system package managers (such as Homebrew and apt-get) and exposed to Swift packages by providing a modulemap file along with other metadata such as the library’s pkgConfig name.
