I am trying to wrap simple c++ code by swig for python. My code is
hello.cpp
#include <iostream>
/*simple function for trying swig*/
char const* greet(){
return "hello world!";
}
wrapper code helloworld.i
/*interface file for swig : corresponds to hello.cpp*/
%module helloworld
%{
/*headers and declarations here*/
extern char const* greet();
%}
extern char const* greet();
The commands I used :
swig -c++ -python helloworld.i
g++ -O2 -fPIC -c hello.cpp
g++ -O2 -fPIC -c helloworld_wrap.cxx -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
g++ -lpython -dynamclib hello.o helloworld_wrap.o -o _helloworld.so
The first three commands work well and produce all the files needed but the last command gives the following error.
Error message:
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-dynamclib'
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_main", referenced from:
implicit entry/start for main executable
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
What is going wrong here? I am very confused with this.
Use -dynamiclib
instead of -dynamclib
.
EDIT (answering your comment below):
I can reproduce the error
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap: 6
if I try to import the module from a different python than it was linked against.
You are linking against the system python, so you should use that. Try:
/usr/bin/python
>>> import helloworld
>>> helloworld.greet()
Probably you have another python version installed somewhere. Do which python
to see which version is being called.
Now, to link against the correct python, you can either use python-config
to determine the correct compiler arguments, or write a small setup.py
file and let distutils handle the compilation (probably the best way to go).
