Hello,
I took your example files and did the following:
changed the #include "edit_distance.h" to #include "edit_distance.c"
in the edit_distance.i file.
Then I changed the first few lines of your function definition
unsigned int edit_distance( const char* c1, const char* c2 )
{
std::string s1( c1), s2( c2);
and also adapted the signature in the edit_distance.i file.
Then
swig -shadow -c++ -python edit_distance.i
g++ -c -fpic -I/usr/include/python edit_distance_wrap.cxx
g++ -shared edit_distance_wrap.o -o _edit_distance.so
I could import edit_distance without any error messages
>>> import edit_distance
>>> print edit_distance.edit_distance( "toto", "titi")
2
>>> print edit_distance.edit_distance( "toto", "toti")
1
Perhaps I changed too many things, but this may get you started,
Regards,
Bas
