As per the SWIG web page (http://www.swig.org): SWIG (Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator) is a software development tool that connects programs written in C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme, however the list of supported languages also includes non- scripting languages such as Java and Eiffel. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming environments and as a tool for building user interfaces. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and noncommercial use. swig-1.3.11-1 is the first Cygwin release of SWIG. -- Gerald Williams To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'automake-devel' from the 'Devel' category. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already updated. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
