swift build linking / Ubuntu

Using Swift
1

Hello!

I was very excited over the open-sourcing of swift today, and immediately
downloaded the distribution for Ubuntu. In following:

mak@nibbler ~/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello
% tree
.
├── Package.swift
└── Sources
       └── main.swift

1 directory, 2 files
mak@nibbler ~/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello % cat Sources/main.swift
print("Hello, jabrone!")
mak@nibbler ~/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello %

However, upon attempting to build the package, I receive the following
error during linking:

mak@nibbler ~/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello
% swift build -v
/home/mak/Documents/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/usr/bin/swiftc
-o /home/mak/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello/.build/debug/Hello
/home/mak/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello/.build/debug/Hello.o/Sources/main.swift.o
-L/usr/local/lib <unknown>:0: error: link command failed with exit code 127
(use -v to see invocation)
<unknown>:0: error: build had 1 command failures swift-build: exit(1):
["/home/mak/Documents/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/usr/bin/swift-build-tool",
"-v", "-f",
"/home/mak/Documents/github/mkolb/Hello/.build/debug/Hello.o/llbuild.yaml"]

Being brand new to this toolchain, and being as the archives are empty, I
figured I'd post this question. Thanks for any help!

Hi Matt,

Please install the dependencies and try again:

$ sudo apt-get install git cmake ninja-build clang uuid-dev libicu-dev
icu-devtools libbsd-dev libedit-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev swig
libpython-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config

That did the trick! Thank you so much for your quick reply.

To clarify, the only additional dependency which you should need for simply *using* the package manager is to "sudo apt-get install clang" (swiftc uses "clang++" to perform the actual link).

The full list of dependencies Dmitri gave is only needed if you are also trying to build the Swift compiler from source.

We documented this requirement here:
  Swift.org - Download Swift
(step 6) but it may need additional clarification.

Cheers,
- Daniel
