install SWIG for OSX(10.8.2)

使用某個網友的Android audio streaming with OpenSL ES and the NDK時發現它需要SWIG來輔助完成JNI的橋接，但在osx上並沒有提供該程式，接下來就是要說明如何安裝並完成它。

什麼是SWIG？

SWIG是一個能將C或者C++編寫的程序與其它各種高級語言如Perl, Python, Ruby, 和 Tcl進行聯接的開發工具。其原理是從C/C++頭文件中找到申明並利用他們生成腳本語言訪問C/C++代碼所必須的封裝代碼。SWIG具有高度可自定義的特點，它能幫助你生成適合你的應用程序的封裝包。

 

1. 下載swig原始碼swig/download.html
2. 解開swig檔案
3. 執行./configure進行設定，但此時卻會發生
   

   configure: error:
   Cannot find pcre-config script from PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions)
   library package. This dependency is needed for configure to complete,
   Either:
   - Install the PCRE developer package on your system (preferred approach).
   - Download the PCRE source tarball, build and install on your system
   as you would for any package built from source distribution.
   - Use the Tools/pcre-build.sh script to build PCRE just for SWIG to statically
   link against. Run ‘Tools/pcre-build.sh –help’ for instructions.
   (quite easy and does not require privileges to install PCRE on your system)
   - Use configure –without-pcre to disable regular expressions support in SWIG
   (not recommended).
   See `config.log’ for more details.

4. 下載pcre(Perl Compatible Regular Expressions)原始碼PCRE source
5. 解壓pcre並行進入目錄來編譯它
   

   ./configure

   make

   sudo make install

6. 開始編譯SWIG
   

   ./configure

   make

   sudo make install

7. 執行swig
   

   Must specify an input file. Use -help for available options.

8. 看到此訊息就代表安裝成功！
