Re: C code wrapper

Hi Jimmy,

Unfortunately you can't use WRAPIT on a C code directly to create the wrapper file.

However, you can use "wrapit77" on a Fortran stub file that represents the same calling sequence as your C file, and with
a few modifications to the wrapper, you will have the wrapper you need, rather than writing it from scratch.

You will also have to compile the the two C codes to create the *.so file yourself, but again, you can use WRAPIT to tell you
what commands to use.

I've created a detailed example, using a simple C subroutine and function. Please see:
