This is SWIG 1.3 (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) packaged for Debian GNU/Linux. This package is compiled with support for Tcl, Python, Perl5, PHP4, Mzscheme, Java, CHICKEN, Ocaml, Pike, C#, Ruby, and Guile. The package also contains the runtime libraries needed for larger packages. Compiler options ---------------- Note that you'll have to take care of good compiler options for yourself when building swig modules. We got a number of bug reports about build failures of "hello world" class perl modules. This is usually because the wrong compiler options are used. For Perl you should use the output of "perl -V:ccflags" into your compiler options. -- Torsten Landschoff Sat, 13 Nov 2004 01:55:27 +0100
