<application>SWIG</application> (Simplified Wrapper and Interface
|
|
Generator) is a compiler that integrates <application>C</application>
|
|
and <application>C++</application> with languages including
|
|
<application>Perl</application>, <application>Python</application>,
|
|
<application>Tcl</application>, <application>Ruby</application>,

<application>PHP</application>, <application>Java</application>,

|
|
<application>Modula-3</application>,
|
|
<application>Common Lisp</application>, and
|
|
<application>Pike</application>. <application>SWIG</application> can
|
|
also export its parse tree into <application>Lisp</application>
|
|
s-expressions and <application>XML</application>.

<para>

<application>SWIG</application> reads annotated

<application>C/C++</application> header files and creates wrapper

code (glue code) in order to make the corresponding
|
|
<application>C/C++</application> libraries available to the listed
|
|
languages, or to extend <application>C/C++</application> programs
|
|
with a scripting language.

<para>
|
|
Install <application>SWIG</application> by running the following

commands:

</para>
|
|
|
|
<!-- Spaces are significant in <screen> sections -->
|
|
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \

--without-maximum-compile-warnings &&
|
|
make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To test the results, issue: <command>make -k check</command>. Tests for
|
|
many languages are executed, depending on which ones you have installed.
|
|
Therefore, disk space and SBU values for the tests should be considered
|
|
only indications of necessary space and time, but not even approximated
|
|
values should they be considered. If you have both <xref
|
|
linkend="python2"/> and <xref linkend="python3"/> installed, the
|
|
Python-3 tests are not run. You can run tests for Python-3 by issuing
|
|
<command>PY3=1 make check-python-examples</command> followed by
|
|
<command>PY3=1 make check-python-test-suite</command>. According to
|
|
<application>SWIG</application>'s documentation, the failure of some
|
|
tests should not be considered harmful.

built. We use it for <application>Clisp</application>, because the

SWIG implementation is very incomplete and a lot of tests fail.
