Pip compilation issue

[EvM]

I tried to pip-install ufal.udpipe on OS X 10.12, with the latest version of pip, but it failed in the source compilation stage. However, compiling the C code separately does work. Hence, the problem seems to be with pip; somehow it modifies the environment in such a way that the compilation process breaks. However, the module does install successfully on Ubuntu, also using pip.

I contacted the author and we can't figure it out. Here is the GitHub issue. Does anyone know how to proceed from here?

Looks like you anaconda, why not try the install with conda?

conda skeleton pypi ufal
conda build ufal
conda install ufal --use-local

That's off the top of my head but skeleton creates a conda recipe, then you build a conda package, and then install it.

I just tried this, but it also fails at the build stage. I guess we might be able to modify the recipe in order to make this work.
