Re: [Swig-user] [Fwd: Swig and R on Windows]

[Joseph W. <jo...@gn...>]

Sorry for the slowness, I'm juggling seven or eight things right now.

Can you compile in debug mode and send a stack trace?

If that doesn't work run it with a -dump_tags option.  Swig shouldn't segfa=
ult=20
at all, and there must be some unix/windows issue.  My guess is that there =
is=20
some pointer that isn't being initialized, and windows is less forgiving of=
=20
this than unix.  I'll try running swig under valgrind next week to see if I=
=20
can track down something.

Has anyone gotten this to run under windows?
