%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ SWIG SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) is a compiler that integrates C and C++ with languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, D, Go, Lua, Octave, R, Scheme, and Ocaml. SWIG can also export its parse tree into Lisp s-expressions and XML. SWIG reads annotated C/C++ header files and creates wrapper code (glue code) in order to make the corresponding C/C++ libraries available to the listed languages, or to extend C/C++ programs with a scripting language. &lfs90_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &swig-md5sum; Download size: &swig-size; Estimated disk space required: &swig-buildsize; Estimated build time: &swig-time; SWIG Dependencies Required Optional for tests, and any of the languages mentioned in the introduction, as run-time dependencies User Notes: Install SWIG by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --without-maximum-compile-warnings && make To test the results, issue: make -k check TCL_INCLUDE=. The unsetting of the variable TCL_INCLUDE is necessary since it is not correctly set by configure. The tests are only executed for the languages installed on your machine, so the disk space and SBU values given for the tests may vary, and should be considered as mere orders of magnitude. If you have installed, the Python-3 tests are not run. You can run tests for Python-3 by issuing PY3=1 make check-python-examples followed by PY3=1 make check-python-test-suite. According to SWIG's documentation, the failure of some tests should not be considered harmful. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/swig-&swig-version; && cp -v -R Doc/* /usr/share/doc/swig-&swig-version; --without-maximum-compile-warnings: disables compiler ansi conformance enforcement, which triggers errors in the Lua headers (starting with Lua 5.3). --without-<language>: allows disabling the building of tests and examples for <language>, but all the languages capabilities of SWIG are always built. Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories swig and ccache-swig None /usr/share/doc/swig-&swig-version; and /usr/share/swig Short Descriptions swig takes an interface file containing C/C++ declarations and SWIG special instructions, and generates the corresponding wrapper code needed to build extension modules. swig ccache-swig is a compiler cache, which speeds up re-compilation of C/C++/SWIG code. ccache-swig
