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> Microsoft Windows
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
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++).
|
|

|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Note:</b>SWIG-1.3.12 does support OS-X/Darwin. Simply download the Unix
|
|
sources, configure, and build from the command terminal.

<h3><a name="SupportedLanguages"></a> Supported Languages </h3>
|
|
|
|
The following scripting languages were supported in the final SWIG 1.1 release.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Tcl 8.0 and newer versions.
|
|
<li> Python 1.5 and newer.
|
|
<li> Perl 5.003 or newer.
|
|
<li> Guile 1.3.4 and newer.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
The following languages are also supported in SWIG 1.3.6 onwards.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Java JDK 1.1 and newer.
|
|
<li> Ruby.
|
|
<li> Mzscheme.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
PHP support was added in SWIG 1.3.11.<br>
|
|
Objective Caml (Ocaml) and Pike support was added in SWIG 1.3.14.<br>
|
|
Support for C# and the Chicken scheme compiler was added in SWIG 1.3.18.<br>
|
|
Support for Allegro CL and Modula-3 was added in SWIG-1.3.22.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Any newer versions of these languages should be assumed to be
|
|
supported unless otherwise indicated.
|
|
|
|
There is also <a href="http://www.ultravioletconsulting.com/projects/swigjs">SwigJS</a>, a JavaScript module for SWIG
|
|
and <a href="http://efsa.sourceforge.net/archive/cozzi/swigeiffel.htm">SWIGEiffel</a> for Eiffel.

<h3> Compilation Requirements </h3>
|
|
|
|
SWIG is implemented in C and C++ and is distributed in source form.
|
|
You will need a working C++ compiler (e.g. 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 partly written in C++, a C++ compiler is not required to use
|
|
SWIG--it works just fine with both ANSI C and C++.
