Build fails with macOS 10.12

[MarcoNiemann]

With Python 2.7.14 the compilation fails on macOS 10.12. Requirements (cython, cysignals, future and numpy) are satisfied. Compilation fails both using pip and manual conversion.

C-Compiler is:

Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

src/fasttext_access.cpp:54:48: error: 'find' is a private member of 'fasttext::Dictionary'
ALLOW_CONST_METHOD_ACCESS(Dictionary, int32_t, find, const std::string&);

Hi @MarcoNiemann,

The only supported C++ compiler is g++.
(pyfasttext uses complicated template hacks to access fastText private members and members, which are only supported by g++).

I've added support for clang (it should support clang >= 3.6.0).

Can you update the source code and try again ?

Many thanks @vrasneur. Works like a charm now. 👍 And cool that you added the clang support. Wasn't aware that it would only work with g++.

The issue can thus be closed.
