[Swig-user] Windows 7 installation of SWIG

[Jon H. <jfc...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I realize this is a bit of a beginner's question, but I'm having trouble
installing SWIG on my 64-bit W7 system. Running the executable seemed not to
do much, although I believe it is written for a 32-bit system so this might
make sense.

I am trying to install SWIG on this machine so I can use C/C++ modules in
Python scripts. I have looked at the manual for installing for windows, but
unfortunately it simply did not help me at all (this is undoubtedly due to a
lack of knowledge/experience on my side. For example, 'setting the
environment variables' is something I am not familiar with, so this section
of the manual leaves me uncertain of what to do and at which point)...is
there any more detailed guide available for installing SWIG on Windows, even
if this requires more steps than just running the executable? Or is there
perhaps someone kind enough to help me out with this directly?

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!

Jon
