Install on MacOS Ventura 13.5

Hi,

i tried to install yara-python via pip but git an error while compilation:

yara/libyara/modules/pe/authenticode-parser/authenticode.c:22:10: fatal error: 'openssl/asn1.h' file not found

What depencies do i have to correct? Or is it just the correction of a file-/lib-path because i find the missing asn1.h header file e.g. under /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.1.2/include/openssl/asn1.h?

Thx in advance,
Maurice

You need to tell the configure script where your OpenSSL headers and libraries are.

CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/openssl/lib" ./configure

@wxsBSD Thanks for your help but to tell the truth i do not know how to access the configure script because it is part of the pip installation process. I tried locate configure | grep yara to identify a maybe cached configure script but did not find anything.
So, would you help a Apple newbie again? ;-)

Thanks a lot, Maurice

Sorry, I missed that you were using pip here. I've never done it but you should be able to do:

CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/openssl/lib" pip instal ...

Dear @wxsBSD,

the pip enviroment seems not to work with CFLAGS & LDFLAGS. :-(

In the error message i found the (hardcoded?) search path "/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" so i tried working with a symbolic link. This worked for me in the moment!

Th@nx a lot,

Maurice

Should be fixed in #248

Is this resolved in pip or does that require a new release? Looks like the last release was in April?

@psifertex: My understanding is, that the version in the pip repository is updated with a new release only.

[psifertex]

Is there a different issue tracking an updated release on pip that could be linked here then? I ask since one of the plugins in the Binary Ninja community plugin repository depends on this package and installs dependencies via pip so it would be nice to direct people to an issue tracking when it's resolved.

CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib" pip install yara-python

This command works for me. The correct directory is /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/ but not /opt/homebrew/openssl/ under my environment.

[psifertex]

Thanks! I can confirm that works for me too. Good work-around until the release is updated.
