python installation problem

[j3rk0]

when i try to pip install -e . inside the kenlm top folder it fail to compile returning:

util/usage.cc:185:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]
  185 | }
      | ^
cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors
error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
    [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

i try to run python-config --cflags and one of the compiler flag was -Werror=return-type. i find two possible solution:

• disabling this compiler flag
• going to kenlm/util/usage.cc and change line 185 to return 0.0;}

the first solution is the best but i don't know how to change the compiler flag. the second solution is fast but i don't know if it break some library functions. i don't know if this is the correct place to report this error but it takes me a lot to solve it and i tought it could be useful for someone.

What platform are you on? Indeed return 0.0 will work, I'll add that.

Ah we're defining HAVE_CLOCKGETTIME from cmake but not the python build.
