pocketsphinx fails to build with Python 3.11.0a4. In file included from /usr/include/python3.11/cpython/pystate.h:5, from /usr/include/python3.11/pystate.h:135, from /usr/include/python3.11/Python.h:76, from pocketsphinx_wrap.c:11: pocketsphinx_wrap.c:16:13: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers 16 | typedef int bool; | ^~~~ pocketsphinx_wrap.c:16:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration 16 | typedef int bool; | ^~~~~~~ https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.11/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/03271787-pocketsphinx/ For all our attempts to build pocketsphinx with Python 3.11, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/package/pocketsphinx/ Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.11: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.11 is planned to be included in Fedora 37. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.11. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36.
My guess is that one of the Python header files started including stdbool.h, and thus the type bool conflicts with the name bool in: typedef int bool; The offending code is generated using swig. I added a patch that removes the definition of bool and instead includes stdbool.h to make use of the system definition. See also https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx/pull/244.
