Hi,
I've successfully installed SWIG via macports. I then try to run a
very simple example as recommended in the manual (sect 2.3) http://
www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Introduction.html#Introduction_nn4.
I can successfully run:
swig -tcl example.i
But I run into problems compiling things. In particular,
gcc -c -fpic example.c example_wrap.c -I/usr/local/include
complains that -fpic isn't supported (and -fPIC is assumed).
gcc -shared example.o example_wrap.o -o example.so
doesn't run at all. complaints include: -shared not supported. the
loader exits b/c many symbols are undefined (e.g. _main, _TclFreeObj,
many other Tcl-related names).
I posted to the SWIG users group at sourceforge to find out what
tricks one needs to play with gcc on OS X (assuming that flag usage
is the problem) and they told me:
>SWIG should correctly configure itself to build examples and tests
on OS-X.
>Look in the Examples directory and copy the compiler/linker flags
that are used.
When I asked for where this directory lies, I was told:
>SWIG/Examples
>Should be part of every SWIG source distribution (download from
www.swig.org).
I can't find any examples in the distribution I received. I could
also not find any source. According to port:
6 % port contents swig
Port swig contains:
/opt/local/bin/swig
/opt/local/share/swig/1.3.29/allegrocl/allegrocl.swg
[snip]
/opt/local/share/swig/1.3.29/windows.i
I installed swig via sudo port -vd install swig (note: no clean flags
were requested).
Please advise and thanks for the help.
