SWIG CVS
<p>
<img src="images/cvs.png">
<p>
SWIG is currently undergoing a large redevelopment effort.
Development versions of SWIG are available through a public
CVS repository. To use this interface you will need to install
CVS 1.9 or newer. The SWIG development machine is currently
running cvs-1.10. Use of the CVS repository is not recommended except for
advanced users.
<h3> Disclaimer </h3>
The CVS release represents work in progress and is not guaranteed to compile on your machine or be functional in any
manner.
<h3> To check out the latest version </h3>
<ol>
<li> Set the location of CVSROOT
<p>
<pre>
% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:cvs@swig.cs.uchicago.edu:/cvsroot
</pre>
<p>
(Alternatively, you can use the -d option to CVS)
<p>
<li> Log into the cvs server by issuing the following command:
<p>
<pre>
% cvs login
CVS password: &lt;enter 'cvs' here&gt
</pre>
<p>
The password to the cvs account is 'cvs'.
<p>
<li>The latest version of SWIG can be retrieved using
<p>
<pre>
% cvs checkout SWIG
</pre>
</p>
</ol>
<b>Note:</b> The CVS repository is read-only so the system will not
accept code modifications at this time.
<h3> Required Tools </h3>
To compile SWIG from its CVS repository, you will need the following tools:
<ul>
<li> Autoconf
<li> A working C++ compiler.
<li> yacc or bison (to compile the SWIG parser).
</ul>
<p>
For Windows users, it is important to note that the CVS repository does not
include the C++ code generated by yacc (this code is included in the normal
release however). Thus, you will either have to install yacc/bison or
download a nightly build.
<h3>Developer Access</h3>
We are always looking for people to help out with various projects.
<ul>
<li> Send email to <a href="mailto:beazley@cs.uchicago.edu">beazley@cs.uchicago.edu</a>
if you are interested in doing developer work and gaining write access to the CVS repository.
<p>
<li>A developer mailing list is available at <a href="mailto:swig-dev@cs.uchicago.edu">swig-dev@cs.uchicago.edu</a> to discuss coding issues, bugs, patches, and so forth. Archives of recent
activity can be found <a href="http://mailman.cs.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/swig-dev">here</a>.
