+# Troubleshooting compiler build issues
+
+## Some of my CI builds succeed, and some fail.
+
+At this point, Hylo compiler uses both a build system based on CMake, and one based on `swift build`.
+Investigate if just one of them fails, and take it from there.
+
+## Updating an external library
+
+Let's take the example of Swifty-LLVM, which is a Hylo repository for which we always get the latest version from `main`.
+For this example, making a change to Swifty-LLVM should be picked up automatically, after the change is submitted to `main`.
+But this doesn't always happen.
+
+To properly update the external library, do the following:
+- quit any IDEs (yes, please do that)
+- delete the build folder (e.g., `.build`)
+- delete `Package.resolved`
+- run `swift package resolve`
+- build with Swift build system (e.g., `swift build -c release`), and ensure everything builds
+- build with the CMake system and ensure that everything builds
+- upload the changes to `Package.resolved`; this should contain the commit sha for the latest version of the library.
+
+> **_NOTE:_**
+> VS Code imediatelly re-generates the swift packages, so, depending on the order of operations, this may interfere with the actual resolving of the packages.
+> This is why we recommend closing the IDE first.
+
+> **_NOTE:_**
+> This will most probably update other packages that swift will use.
+> This is expected.
