   1 SWIG 1.3 Patches
   2 ================
   3
   4 This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
   5 are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
   6 building your own extension modules that need to interface with
   7 wxPython.  These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
   8 tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
   9 source tree soon.
  10
  11 wxPython currently uses the 1.3.22 version of SWIG, which you can get
  12 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patches in this
  13 directory.  Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here and
  14 then build as normal.

  42 swig.xmlout.patch            Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
  43                              of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
  44                              newlines in attribute values were changed
  45                              to the #10; entity reference so they will
  46                              be preserved by parsers.
  47
  48                              Also, added options for dumping or
  49                              writing to a file the XML of the parse
  50                              tree *after* other language modules have
  51                              been run (previously you could only do
  52                              the XML output *instead of* a regular
  53                              language module.)

  59 These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in

  62
  63 swig.SplitLines.patch       Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
  64                             library.  See SF Patch #829317.
  65                             *Checked in 10/31/2003*
  66
  67 swig.xml.patch              Adds an option that drastically reduces
  68                             the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
  69                             increases the performance of the
  70                             build_renamers script used in the wxPython
  71                             build.  See SF Patch #829319.
  72                             *Checked in 10/31/2003*
  73
  74 swig.python.patch           Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
  75                             especially in how the proxy code is
  76                             generated.  See swig.python.patch.txt for
  77                             more details, also SF Patch #829325.
