I've updated the version of SWIG to 1.3.19-1. Tarballs should be available on the Cygwin mirrors shortly.
As per the SWIG web page (http://www.swig.org): SWIG (Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator) is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme, however the list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as Java and OCAML. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and noncommercial use. Version 1.3.19 is a regular development release of SWIG. More information, including release notes and user documentation, can be found in the directory /usr/doc/swig-1.3.19/. ***LATE-BREAKING NEWS*** One thing that won't be currently found in that directory is an issue that has come up with the latest Cygwin release of Perl (5.8.0), which uses 64-bit integers. This results in some warnings of the following type when compiling the output of SWIG: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size It is specifically caused by the SWIG_ConvertPtr() function, which casts Perl type IV (now a long long) into a pointer in several circumstances. This warning does not appear to cause any test cases to fail. This issue just came up and is being addressed by the SWIG development community. -- Gerald Williams Cygwin SWIG maintainer *** INSTALLATION *** To update your installation, download and run setup.exe using the "Install Cygwin now" link at http://cygwin.com/.
