Same error here with ubuntu 22.04, strange that manually, the installation of Numpy with pip install numpy and pip install vamp works fine, but when we automate that, it brakes and give us this error.

I'm no longer sufficiently embedded in the python packaging world to know what the cause is offhand, but it seems very unfortunate for pip/pypi to break long-standing packages like this.

If I can find some time to look into it I will, but this is no longer something I actively work on or indeed use, so it would mean a cold start and I'm not sure when I will be able to do that.

So I really encourage anyone who recognises the issue to offer a fix or PR - I can also add other maintainers to pypi if someone (with a recognisable trustworthy track record) offers to update it.

Alternatively I can surely make the time if paid to do so, though I realise that's an unlikely scenario given the academic nature of the work!

[dinizgab]

I was able to run it using a python 3.11 docker image and doing the same as i told in the last comment.

[cannam]

So is there a workaround that is simply "install numpy first" or similar?

[dinizgab]

Yes, what i found strange was that using only ubuntu runner here in gh actions it doesn't work, for running in a workflow i needed to run in a container.

For me this stackoverflow solution starts compiling the wheel. It involves only creating pyproject.toml with two lines of code, so it's worth trying. (But no idea if this causes any problems with metadata etc.)

I couldn't compile it unfortunately on Windows, it complained that ssize_t is an undeclared identifier. I think the reason might be that ssize_t might not be supported by the newest MSVC C++ compiler, like somebody mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/eridur-de/mightyscape-1.2/issues/131
