[swift-users] libswift frontend ios

[Ramakrishna Mallireddy]

While trying to build for iOS, I am stuck here...I am using the
build-script to compile, iOS simulator builds are done and for arm all libs
are generate except libSwiftIRGen.a, libSwiftSILOptimizer &
libSwiftImmediate.a

*swift/swift/lib/Immediate/REPL.cpp:39:10: **fatal error: **'histedit.h'
file not found*

#include <histedit.h>

this file is not there for iOS, how to get around this.
