Python 5 x64 wrapper for TWSLink along with Visual Studio wrapper solution and sample
- 64 bit twslink2pl.dll and twslink2pl.pm included.
- Visual Studion 2017 solution file included: This is to create your own twslink2 wrapper for other perl versions.
- Includes also a small sample in the test folder of download.
When the TWSLink2 interfaces should change, which is unlikely, or a new Perl version is out which you want to use, you may want to have a new TWSLink2 wrapper,
so you can call TWSLink from within Perl. In order to build your own wrapper, you need some tools:
- The swig project and ressources
- Visual Studio (>= community edition)
- Latest TWSLink2 installed
The Visual Studio project for this perl wrapper, assumes that swig is in c:\swig. Details about building the wrapper are in the readme.txt of download.
Note: With swig, Visual Studio and TWSLink2 wrapper cpp files (contained in download), you can build wrapper for ANY LANGUAGE contained in the swig world. Just watch the samples in the swig project, to get an idea and use the Perl wrapper Visual Studio project as draft.
