Interesting topic and paper. I tried to compile the makefile on Ubuntu (15.04) using Python 2.7, including all of the required libraries, but there is an error that I could not solve it, here is the output of running make: wmd- error page

I would be thankful if you can help me to solve this. Thanks.

Hi If you change in the Makefile the following line from CFLAGS = -fPIC to CFLAGS = -fPIC -fno-stack-protector Then the error went away in my case. Regards, Felix PS: I needed to install swig in addition (which was not mentioned in the dependencies) using: sudo apt-get install swig
