    2: =                             Language Bindings                               =
    3: ===============================================================================
    4: 
    5: The tools to generate the various language bindings are done here.
    6: SWIG 1.3.24 or better is required for creating the Java and Perl bindings.
    7: 
    8: Perl scripts are used to parse ssl.h and automagically give the appropriate 
    9: bindings.
   10: 
   11: At present, the four languages supported are:
   12: 
   13: * C#
   14: * VB.NET
   15: * Java
   16: * Perl
   17: 
   18: To generate each binding run the following:
   19: 
   20: C#:
   21: > generate_interface.pl -csharp
   22: 
   23: VB.NET:
   24: > generate_interface.pl -vbnet
   25: 
   26: 
   27: Java:
   28: > generate_SWIG_interface.pl -java
   29: > cd java; swig -java -package axTLSj -noextern axTLSj.i
   30: 
   31: Perl:
   32: > generate_SWIG_interface.pl -perl
   33: > cd perl; swig -noextern -perl axTLSp.i
   34: 
   35: Java and Perl both create a library each called libaxtlsj.so and libaxtlsp.so 
   36: (or axtlsj.dll and atlsp.dll on Win32 platforms).
   37: 
   38: Note: the "-noextern" is deprecated in swig 1.3.27 and newer. The "-noextern"
   39: option was required to get Win32 bindings to work (which is why is has probably
   40: been deprecated).
   41: 
   42: Each binding (except for Perl) has an extra helper interface to make life 
   43: easier.
