Yup, good point, that's still on my TODO list. > I think we should check for SWIG first and require it to be present before > automatically enabling python and lua. That would make sense, but I haven't gone that route because downstream (Swift) we have the Python bindings checked-in. So it's not necessary to have SWIG in order to enable Python. Of course downstream shouldn't direct what we do upstream, but if I can figure out a solution that minimizes divergence I strongly prefer that. I'm hoping to get to this soon. > > // Martin > _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
