Swift on Linux: Make very first step work

Question

I am totally new to swift. It has just been released as open source for linux and I wanted to try it. This is on ubuntu 14.04. clang is installed as per prerequisites.

This is not really an answer -- I have the same problem as OP -- but SwiftShims is actually defined the module.map file in your file listing above:

module SwiftShims {
  header "CoreFoundationShims.h"
  header "FoundationShims.h"
  header "GlobalObjects.h"
  header "HeapObject.h"
  header "LibcShims.h"
  header "RefCount.h"
  header "RuntimeShims.h"
  header "RuntimeStubs.h"
  header "SwiftStddef.h"
  header "SwiftStdint.h"
  header "UnicodeShims.h"
  export *
}
