Re: Cross build swig for Windows

You can use the scripts we use for building the official SWIG Windows
executable. It cross compiles on Linux to Windows x86.
https://github.com/swig/swig/blob/master/Tools/mkwindows.sh.

Use it like this:

./mkwindow.sh 4.0.2

for which you need the swig-4.0.2.tar.gz release tarball and a pcre
tarball, such as pcre-8.02.tar.bz2. I believe the invocation you are
interested in is:

./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=i686-linux

More info for the packages required on Ubuntu are at
https://github.com/swig/swig/wiki/Getting-Started#building-a-full-release.
