Not tested on a device yet. What that means

swig in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own swig package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so swig should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • swig
  • ccache-swig

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Compilers and build tools make ARM64 Linux programs on the device itself, with Debian's own toolchain. A big build uses the device's processor and memory, so it takes longer than on a desktop PC, and each parallel job is another process, which counts against the limit Android puts on apps. More in the docs: Troubleshooting: the desktop closes on its own.

About swig

From Debian's package description

SWIG is a compiler that makes it easy to integrate C and C++ code with these languages: C#, D, Go, Guile, Java, JavaScript, Lua, Mzscheme, OCaml, Octave, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scilab, and Tcl.

Swig takes a set of ANSI C/C++ declarations and generates an interface for them to your favorite scripting language.

From Debian's description of the swig package, under that package's license.
