#1214 error: too few arguments to function 'PyObject* Swig_python:

[Anonymous]

Compiling freecad-0.11.4422 succeeds with swig-1.3.40 but fails with swig-2.0.4. The error message follows; the full build log is attached. Please indicate what other information would be useful.

Note that this installation of swig-2.0.4 already includes the patch of svn-commit 12814, otherwise compiling pivy (dependency of freecad) would be impossible with swig-2.

(FreeCAD still fails at the linking stage, but that is a different issue not related to swig.)

It looks like you are using an old swigpyrun.h You need to update swigpyrun.h each time you upgrade SWIG, which is easy, see http://www.swig.org/Doc2.0/Modules.html#Modules_external_run_time. Please re-open if not resolved.
