Tagline: SWIG is a compiler that integrates C, C++, and Objective-C
|
|
with scripting languages including Perl, Python, and Tcl.
|

|
|
This distribution represents work in progress towards building a new
|
|
SWIG release. The guilty parties working on this are:

|
|
- Dave Beazley (beazley@cs.uchicago.edu) (SWIG core)
|
|
- Dustin Mitchell (djmitche@cs.uchicago.edu) (SWIG core)

- Ian Cooke (iancooke@cs.uchicago.edu) (SWIG core)
|
|
- Bryan King (bwking@midway.uchicago.edu) (SWIG core)
|
|
- Hasan Baran Kovuk (hbkovuk@midway.uchicago.edu) (SWIG core)
|
|
- Loic Dachary (loic@ceic.com) (Perl5)
|

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ FIRST ***
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded this as a prepackaged release such as SWIG1.3a1,
|
|
be advised that the code represents a snapshot of the most stable
|
|
part of the SWIG CVS repository. Currently, SWIG is undergoing a
|
|
large redevelopment effort. The SWIG1.3 series of releases such
|
|
be considered to be transitional releases between SWIG1.1 and SWIG2.0.
|
|
|
|
General overview:
|
|
=================
|
|
The primary goal of future development is to make SWIG more modular,
|
|
extensible, and easier to maintain. To this end, the source code has
|
|
been consolidated and reorganized with the Source directory. Within
|
|
this directory, there are a number of different components:
|
|
|
|
SWIG1.1 - These two directories contain the C++ code
|
|
Modules1.1 corresponding to the SWIG1.1.x series of
|
|
releases. This code is still in use but is
|
|
slowly being deprecated.
|
|
|
|
*** Important note: ALL future SWIG development is taking place
|
|
in ANSI C. Please avoid C++ if at all possible. -- Dave ***
|
|
|
|
DOH - Object framework for the ANSI C core.
|
|
Core - New SWIG core (ANSI C)
|
|
Preprocessor - SWIG preprocessor module
|
|
Dustin - Some Python stuff Dustin is working on.
|
|
SWILL - An embedded web-server library
|
|
Swim - The SWIG monitor project.
|
|
|
|
Documentation for these components is weak or non-existent at this
|
|
time. However, this should only matter if you are actually hacking
|
|
on SWIG itself. Please bear with us.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
To build and install SWIG, simply type the following:
|
|
|
|
% ./configure
|
|
% make
|
|
% make install
|
|
|
|
If you checked the code out via CVS, you will have to run autoconf
|
|
before typing 'configure.' In addition, a full build of SWIG requires
|
|
the use bison or yacc.
|
|
|
|
Participate!
|
|
============
|
|
We are looking for people who want to join the effort of getting this
|
|
next release off the ground. Please send me email for details.
