error: unable to find string literal operator 'operator"" PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T'

[Shawn Tan]

Bug occurs when building the cython stuff.

[ 36%] Building CXX object opencog/cython/CMakeFiles/cogserver_cython.dir/opencog/cogserver.cpp.o
/home/shawn/opencog/build/bin/opencog/cython/opencog/cogserver.cpp: In function 'void __Pyx_RaiseArgtupleInvalid(const char*, int, Py_ssize_t, Py_ssize_t, Py_ssize_t)':

I've attempted manually going in to add a space between the quotes, and it does build that way.

The problem is apparently with cython, and has been reported on their google group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/cython-users/0CYqw2cRFlg

Some googling brought me to his github account where he fixed the thing but hasn't seemed to have submitted a pull request:
https://github.com/rp-/cython/commit/4a4d5d9a800e1cd048798161a373fd775fb29d26

Is there any patch or work-around we can apply to opencog? If so, then
what? If not, then we'll have to just wait until cython is fixed...

[ferrouswheel (joel-pitt)]

The cython bindings used to build fine. So it would be helpful to know
what version of cython was being used, or what commit broke it.

It's possible that gcc-4.7 broke this. gcc-4.7 is more strict about things.

Hi all,

The problem has been fixed, but the fix was not included in the 0.16 release.
https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/109

Apparently it was an issue with the new C++ standard.

Guess I'll have to wait for the next release of cython.
Sorry about submitting the bug report, wasn't sure of the procedure if it concerned problems with other packages.

[ferrouswheel (joel-pitt)]

Hi Shawn - no need for the apology, it's great to get feedback about
people's build experience so that we know where there are issues.

Thanks for linking to the resolution too!

Upgrading to cython 0.17 appears to fix this bug.

[linas (linasvepstas)]

Shawn, can you verify that cython 0.17 fixes this? If so, we should add a check to cmake to insist on this version

[David Hart (dhart)]

I'm using cython 0.17 bundled with Ubuntu 12.10 and still seeing this bug...

[Shawn Tan (6-shawx-h)]

Hi all,

Cython 0.17 fixed this bug. However, there are still other compilation
errors that I'm facing related to Boost.

I must have misread my cython version... 0.16 is bundled with Ubuntu 12.10.

I installed http://ftp.hk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cython/cython_0.17.1-1_amd64.deb and no longer get this error (cogserver builds). Marking as fixed.
