There is a ticket that suggests adding swig to the book. Right now it is referenced in pdl, subversion, and graphviz. I took a look at it and on the surface it is pretty simple: CMMI. Just about any BLFS user should be able to easily find, download, build, and install it without problems.
The issue is dependencies. There are probably about 20 optional dependencies for different languages such as tcl, python2, python3, octave, java, apache ant, guile, ruby, php, ocaml, pike, lua, go, and lisp. There are others that I have never heard of before. Actually, I've not heard of octave before and some of the others here I only faintly recognize. This really begs the question, "Why not language ? in the book". So what do you think? Should we add swig? If yes, should we add some or all of the languages that are referenced? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
