OK, updated swig to 1.3.21. Needed to tweak some minor things but compiles just fine on current tree. Not sure if it will make it into FC2, but it will certainly be in the following release. Read ya, Phil |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The version of SWIG supplied with Fedora Core is incompatible with either the compiler or libraries included with the distro. I supplied a patch to fix this to the SWIG people which was included in swig-1.3.20 (and above). This new release needs to be included with Fedora Core so that the patch is included and perl bindings will compile. I have tested 1.3.21 (compiled from tarball) and it works fine (while 1.3.19 from the RPM does not). I am not aware of RPMs existing for this version of the swig package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to compile examples from swig website for perl bindings under gcc (version included with Fedora Core). That's it. Actual Results: The compile fails due to the new version of GCC being much more picky about types in function calls. Expected Results: It should have failed because this old version of swig was pretty relaxed about types. The new version fixes this. Additional info:
