   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.
