So...including cairo in an app returns this:
Linking Executable:  .build/debug/example/usr/bin/ld: cannot find 
-l/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.soclang: error: linker command failed with 
exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)<unknown>:0: error: link command failed 
with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)<unknown>:0: error: build had 1 
command failuresswift-build: exit(1): 
["/home/mgage/Downloads/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/usr/bin/swift-build-tool",
 "-f", "/home/mgage/Sources/example/.build/debug/example.o/llbuild.yaml"]
What went amiss?

Once you have followed the instructions to create a system package, your own 
package declares a dependency on that package. This is also covered in those 
steps. 
To use the C APIs in your code, simply import the name of the module (as 
defined by the modulemap entry) in your swift file. It should just work. 
For instance, in the example from the sysmodules doc link I sent, you just 
import CJPEG

The C functions will have the same name in Swift as their C counterparts. The 
types might adjust to UnsafePointer etc.. For a list of those Swift bindings, 
run the REPL and import your module, then perform “:type lookup Module” to get 
a printout of available APIs.

I read that. What I want to know is how to bind the functions themselves after 
creating a system package. How to use the c functions that got imported, if you 
will.

For any project: How is a C to Swift function binding created? I'd like to know 
how to import C functions to Swift. Once I can do this successfully, I'll be 
all set.
