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: <enter 'cvs' here>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The password to the cvs account is 'cvs'.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>The latest development version of SWIG can be retrieved using
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% cvs checkout SWIG
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>To build the system, follow these steps
|
|
<p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% cd SWIG
|
|
% ./autogen.sh
|
|
% ./configure --prefix=/some/directory
|
|
% make
|
|
% make install
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</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 2.54 or higher
|
|
<li> Automake 1.7.2 or higher
|
|
<li> Libtool 1.4.2 or higher recommended, 1.5 preferable.
|
|
<li> A working C++ compiler.
|
|
<li> yacc or bison (to compile the SWIG parser).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is important to note that the CVS repository does not include the C++ code
|
|
generated by yacc nor the files produced by Autoconf, Automake or Libtool (these
|
|
are however included in a normal release). Thus, you will have
|
|
to install these tools on your machine to work with everything.
|
|
|
|
<h3> Build Issues </h3>
|
|
Here are some guidelines should you be experiencing problems building SWIG from CVS.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Check that you have a complete update from the SWIG CVS repository.
|
|
A fresh checkout from CVS often solves build problems.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Make sure you have run <tt>./autogen.sh</tt> and <tt>./configure</tt>.
|
|
Both these steps will be necessary if you have a fresh CVS checkout or if the build files in the repository have changed since a previous update.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Check that the appropriate versions of your autotools (Autoconf, Automake and Libtool) are installed properly.
|
|
The autotools are in a state of flux and there are backward compatibility issues which are solved in different ways on different operating systems.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
