SWIG Compatibility

SWIG is known to work on the following platforms :
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Unix
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
SWIG is configured and built using an autoconf script so it is
|
|
relatively easy to install on almost any flavor of Unix. However, most of
|
|
SWIG's development has taken place under Linux and Solaris.
|
|
While the configuration script tries to determine the proper settings
|
|
for your machine, some tweaking may be required to compile the
|
|
examples included in the distribution (especially if you are using a
|
|
version of Unix such as AIX or HPUX).
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<li> Windows 95/98/NT
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
SWIG can be compiled with Visual C++ 4.x/5.x/6.x or with the Borland C++ 5.x
|
|
compiler. However, SWIG 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<li> Macintosh
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
A highly experimental version of SWIG has been compiled using
|
|
Metrowerks Code Warrior 10. Given the limited availability and
|
|
experience with the Macintosh, this version of SWIG should only
|
|
be used by exceptionally brave users. SWIG has not been fully tested with Python or
|
|
Perl on the Macintosh although some users have reported success.

<h3> Supported Scripting Languages </h3>
|
|
|
|
The following scripting languages are currently supported
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Tcl 8.0 and newer versions.
|
|
<li> Python 1.3 and newer.
|
|
<li> Perl 5.003 or newer.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Any newer versions of these languages should be assumed to be
|
|
supported unless otherwise indicated.
|
|
|
|
<h3> Compilation Requirements </h3>
|
|
|
|
SWIG is implemented in C++ and is distributed in source form.
|
|
You will need a working C++ compiler (i.e., g++) to build SWIG and at
|
|
least one of the supported scripting languages to use it (or else it
|
|
isn't going to be very useful). SWIG does not depend upon any of the
|
|
supported scripting languages for its own compilation. Finally,
|
|
although SWIG is written in C++, a C++ compiler is not required to use
|
|
SWIG--it works just fine with both ANSI C and C++.
