"""command 'swig' failed with exit status 1""" but I already installed the swig

[bahadiryildirim]

Hello LudovicRousseau; Firstly thank you for the librarys. I get a few errors when using our libraries. Can you help me please?

That the swig is installed:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ swig -version

SWIG Version 4.0.1

Compiled with g++ [armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf]

Configured options: +pcre

Please see http://www.swig.org for reporting bugs and further information

I would like to ask you another question that is not directly related to this topic. Also I can't use ./configure command when installing PCSC lite because there is no configure file.

[LudovicRousseau]

It looks like swig is not installed correctly:

unable to execute 'swig': No such file or directory

[bahadiryildirim]

can you answer my question about PCSClite?

[bahadiryildirim]

and I can use swig in other modules. I'm just getting this error here.

[LudovicRousseau]

Get the pcsc-lite archive from https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/files/

I can't help for swig. You have to debug on your side.
