I need to generate wrapper to FLTK C++ classes to use it in pure C. I know, that SWIG can do that, and I know how to generate wrapper for C#, Python etc. But I do not know how to wrap C++ to C using SWIG. It's simple task, but I can't find the answer :) Please, help.

In a nutshell, SWIG is a compiler that takes C declarations and creates the wrappers needed to access those declarations from other languages including including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Guile, and Java.
SWIG is a software development tool that simplifies the task of interfacing different languages to C and C++ programs. In a nutshell, SWIG is a compiler that takes C/C++ declarations and creates the wrappers needed to access those declarations from other languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Guile, and Java.
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common scripting languages such as Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby.
In a nutshell, SWIG is a compiler that takes C/C++ declarations and creates a wrapper needed to access those declarations from other languages like Python, Tcl, Ruby etc. It normally required no changes in existing code and create an interface within a minute. Building interpreted interface for existing C programs.
I don't think SWIG supports generation of C wrappers out of the box. You always need to specify a target language. In 2008, there was a GSoC project to write a C backend, but that was apparently never completed/incorporated into SWIG.
