.swg files in subversion-1.3.0-rc2

[Mathias Weinert <ma...@gfa-net.de>]

I just downloaded rc2 of Subversion 1.3.0 (better late than
never ;) ) from lolut.utbm.info/pub/subversion-1.3.0/rc2
as proposed some days/weeks ago (I chose
subversion-1.3.0-rc2-nodeps.tar.bz2).

When I wanted to build it under cygwin (including the
Subversion Perl) bindings I got some compile errors.
The solution to this was that the archive contains .swg
files in subversion/bindings/swig/proxy.
After removing these files everything went fine.

I think you shouldn't include these files in the release
downloads (or did I miss something?).

What version of SWIG are you using? Also, which compiler are you
using? What compile errors did you run into?

Subversion 1.3.0rc2 has a few bugs in the ".swg" files which break
compilation with GCC 2.95.x. I believe we have fixed these bugs in
r17257, which will be included in the hopefully upcoming 1.3.0rc3.

We now bundle the generated *.swg files in the Subversion tarball, so
that users can build the Subversion SWIG bindings without having SWIG
installed. It's a new feature in Subversion 1.3.0.

Cheers,

David
