It's good to hear about someone else working on the SWIG bindings. I've spend quite a bit of time updating the bindings to work with Ruby and would like to submit a patch. All my changes are conditioned with #ifdef's so it shouldn't affect any other language bindings. However, it would be helpful if others can test their languages to ensure everything still works the same way it did previously. > If anyone is interested in cleaning up the building of bindings, let > me know, I'd be happy to test and commit the patches. One thing that would make the process easier on (Unix/Linux at least) for users building from a released version of Sword is when the tarball for the next release is created, to update bindings/swig/package/configure.ac with the release Sword version and then run ./autogen.sh to create the configure script. A second thing that should be done is to put a README file in the bindings/swig folder explaining how to build, link and install the bindings for each supported language. Either of these two things would have saved me a lot of time figuring out to to build the bindings for any of the existing languages. One thing I was wondering was the reason for the package folder under bindings/swig and why all the .i files are copied there instead of just referencing them in the bindings/swig folder?
