SWIG works on 32 bit versions of Windows such as Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
However, given that SWIG is primarily developed under Unix, the Windows
version is not as thoroughly tested, but is used widely and successfully under Windows.
Currently the Windows version of SWIG 1.3 is compiled and tested under <a href=http://www.cygwin.com>Cygwin</a> and <a href=http://www.mingw.org>Mingw</a> using gcc, but should be compilable by any other Windows C++ compiler. SWIG 1.1 can be compiled with Visual C++ 4.x/5.x/6.x or with the Borland C++ 5.x
compiler. However, SWIG 1.1 has only been officially tested using the
Visual C++ compiler. You may also need to determine which compiler
has been used to compile the various scripting languages that you will
be using. In general, using SWIG with a different C++ compiler than
the one that was used to compile the target scripting language may
not work (for example, trying to create a Tcl/Tk module using the
Borland compiler when Tcl/Tk has been compiled with Visual C++).
Given that SWIG is primarily developed under Unix, the Windows
version should be viewed as being somewhat experimental. SWIG has
only been tested under Windows-NT. However, Windows 95/98 systems
also appear to work.
