Closed ofirziv closed 5 years ago

ofirziv commented 5 years ago

Trying to install on mac by the following commands:

pip install cython pip install git+https://github.com/izderadicka/pdfparser

I received the following error:

pdfparser/poppler.cpp:8741:41: error: assigning to 'char ' from incompatible type 'const char ' pyx_t_12 = pyx_v_font_name->getCString();


    pdfparser/poppler.cpp:8840:29: error: assigning to 'char *' from incompatible type 'const char *'

I've received this error on various of different macs.

Looking forward to your help,
Thanks

Sorry I do not support MacOS, as I do not have the platform - errors are from clang c++ compiler so I guess it's about compatibility and option settings for that. See also closed issues - there has been some comments from Mac users.

izderadicka commented 5 years ago

Look into setup.py, these are specific options for clang:

mac_compile_args = ["-std=c++11", "-stdlib=libc++", "-mmacosx-version-min=10.7"]

try to experiment there, PR if you find solution.
