Hi Farhan,
To build Swift on ArchLinux you will need to install the perl package which
includes pod2man. I think the list of dependencies at
https://swiftenv.fuller.li/en/latest/building-swift.html#arch-linux is correct
and should contain everything you need.
$ pacman -S perl libbsd icu git libedit python2 clang make ninja
Hope this helps,
Kyle
