Hi All,

I'm building a new Debian (wheezy) install.

Following the usual instructions. I've successfully built the swig app - swig.swg & python.swg exist in /swig/1.3.29.

Seems the build script can't find them - anyone any idea what's wrong? Output is:

'[ 61%] Generating rosout_panel_swig_generated.cpp, rxtoolscpp.py
:1: Error: Unable to find 'swig.swg'

Okay found the problem. For some reason the swig installation script thought is had installaed the lib at /usr/local/share/swig/... (Which is normal) however the actual files were in /swig i.e. off top level dir.

Solution

cp -r /swig /usr/local/share

and get on with the build.

If you don't want to copy the files to the wider filesystem, you can pass swig the -I option to specify where to look for your .swg files: swig-2.0.10/swig -go -intgosize 64 -Iswig-2.0.10/Lib -Iswig-2.0.10/Lib/go example.i
