Actually, I'm talking about the general SWIG docs -- that have nothing
to do with numpy at all. They've got you calling gcc on the command
line, which I haven't done for years!
But while we're on the topic, I started this be looking at the swig
examples that come with numpy. It would be really great if there was a
complete, very simple, sample or two complete with c code, *.i files,
and setup.py. There are the tests, which built and ran fine for me, but
that's a bit of a complicated mess.
Anyway, I'm working on some simple samples -- I'll contribute them when
I get them working!
OT:
The struggle at the moment is building a C++ extension -- if I use
straight C, a trivial sample works, if I call the file *.cpp, swig it
with -c++, I get a *_wrap.cxx file that won't build. Do I have to do
something different in the setup.py?
