Re: [Swig-user] wrapping main(int argc, char *argv[])

[swignewbie <tra...@ho...>]

I have read the manual and search this forum for an example on how to wrap
main function for the example below. I would very much appreciate  pointing
me on the right direction.  
Specifically, I encountered the following error when I load my newly created
module of main function: 

>>TypeError: oldmani() argument 2 must be string, not list.

Thank you in advance!
