<font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'd certainly recommend picking up the
experimental/foundation branch as Rob recommends. Its where we've been
doing some additional work to get properly built into the Swift toolchain
and to open up some internal APIs needed by Foundation.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Whilst I've been building Dispatch either
independently or as part of a full toolchain using the buildbot_linux preset
(with dispatch and install-dispatch added), I've just checked your build
line and its working fine for me. It might be worth cleaning out any partial
build you might have of libdispatch in your build directory, and running
'make distclean' from your libdispatch source directory.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">FYI, we've got some further changes
to the experimental/foundation branch of libdispatch with should land in
the next couple of days. This fixes some issues with the Swift overlay,
and resolves a crash that we've found in the underlying libkqueue implementation.</font>

<br><font size=3>Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>For what it's worth, I can't get the master branch to
build either, but I can get the experimental/foundation branch to build.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Regards,</font>

<br><font size=3>Hello all!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I'm working on </font><a href="https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-710"><font size=3 color=blue><u>https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-710</u></font></a><font size=3>,
which involves porting SourceKit to Linux. SourceKit contains a handful
of references to libdispatch symbols.<br>
<br>
I have two questions:<br>
<br>
1. Could someone share a set of instructions to build swift-corelibs-libdispatch
on Linux? I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 and have installed [the dependencies listed
here](</font><a href="https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-corelibs-dev/Week-of-Mon-20151207/000122.html"><font size=3 color=blue><u>https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-corelibs-dev/Week-of-Mon-20151207/000122.html</u></font></a><font size=3>).
I have tried using both `swift/utils/build-script --libdispatch` as well
as the instructions in the swift-corelibs-libdispatch `INSTALL` file. Both
fail with the [same errors](</font><a href=https://gist.github.com/modocache/8389d5d64e39ca5a4281500f84e9ce11><font size=3 color=blue><u>https://gist.github.com/modocache/8389d5d64e39ca5a4281500f84e9ce11</u></font></a><font size=3>).
Any tips?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>2. I don't know much about C++, but from what I understand
the C++ stdlib provides tools for asynchronous programming. I list SourceKit's
uses of libdispatch in a comment on </font><a href="https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1639"><font size=3 color=blue><u>https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1639</u></font></a><font size=3>.
For those familiar with both C++ and libdispatch: do you think it's a good
idea to migrate to C++, at least for now?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!</font>
