Thank you for your replies. I emailed the port maintainer for Swift at FreeBSD pointing to this thread a few days ago. Give it a week or so, for a response. I wasn't knowledgeable enough to build it for Swift version 3 and send back the Makefile instructions. I told the maintainer there wasn't any rush, but it would be nice for FreeBSD to be shown as a supported platform for Swift. It's in the open for anyone interested in this. Here's the page, again, http://www.freshports.org/lang/swift . Thank you for your interest. ------------------------------------------------------------
