本文介绍如何在Windows环境下使用SWIG连接C/C++与高级语言如Python等。通过安装MinGW或Cygwin，并解决编译过程中的配置文件问题，实现SWIG的成功编译。

"SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of languages including common scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby".

Building SWIG on Windows is not a hard work. The official documenation shows out at least two ways for you. But, these two ways have additional prerequisites. Either MinGW and MSYS or Cywin are required to be installed. As it said, "If you don't want to install Cygwin or MinGW, use a different compiler to build SWIG. For example, all the source code files can be added to a Visual C++ project file in order to build swig.exe from the Visual C++ IDE".

    Just follow this instruction, you will get lots of errors complaining no swigconfig.h found. To solve this issue, copy the file
        %SWIGDIR%/Source/Include/swigconfig.in
to
       %SWIGDIR%/Source/Include/swigconfig.h.
Then, let's make some modification to this newly copied file as below: Now, you can build swig.exe successfully (Oh, do remember to add all the subfolders to additional include search path before compilation).

#define HAVE_BOOL 1
#define SWIG_LIB ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION " 1.3.33 "
#define SWIG_CXX " Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express "
#define SWIG_PLATFORM " Windows Server 2003 "
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT " http:// "
#define SWIG_LIB_WIN_UNIX " Lib "
