[swift-corelibs-dev] swift-corelibs-dev build-script with --foundation is not working for me

[Kris Simon]

Hi Philippe,

thanks a lot for your reply. Does this mean that i always need the swift runtime on the target linux machine? 
We tried a code without Foundation and get stuck with libi18n.so.55 that is not available in that version on our target. 

Can you mention some resources to get deeper into the linux possibilities fpr swift coding. I dig araound for a couple of days and for me it seams that it is not very useful if i need swift on every (only) Ubuntu distribution. Maybe i get something wrong here. 
I miss a list of do's and dont's. what is possible and what not. How to deploy an application to other hosts, ect. 

Is there some useful info around the web that I misse?

Thanks a lot, 
kris.
