error: storage class specified for parameter ‘__Pyx_StringTabEntry’

[Wkerzendorf]

I am trying to build my code and it gives me the

python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
cythoning makeback_wrap.pyx to makeback_wrap.c
building 'makeback_wrap' extension
gcc-4.2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -

makeback_wrap.c: In function ‘makeback_wrap’:
makeback_wrap.c:172: error: storage class specified for parameter
‘__Pyx_StringTabEntry’

here is the line:
172: typedef struct {PyObject **p; char *s; const long n; const char*
encoding; const char is_unicode; const char is_str; const char
intern; } __Pyx_StringTabEntry;

For others that run into this, the problem is that a semicolon is missing at the end of a line (normally in the header file).

To clarify, is this an error in Cython or in the #included header files?

In the included header file.  This can easily happen if you make the header file from your source file and forget to include a semicolon after you copy/paste.
