bokken failed to build on OSX 10.10 due to Python 2.5 dependency

[mgttlinger]

I know 10.10 is not supported as it is not released yet but I believe the problem is not 10.10 specific.

When trying to brew bokken it fails at make step with the following error:

In file included from ../../src/pydistorm.c:15:
../../src/pydistorm.h:25:11: fatal error: 'python2.5/Python.h' file not found
 #include <python2.5/Python.h>    
          ^
1 error generated.

See Gist for outputs.

Tested earlier, works with 10.9, fails with 10.10 (per above), would suggest we wait for release before patching anything.

I know that it's silly, but have you tried to replace that header with a more advanced one? 10.10 shipped 2.6 and 2.7 headers.

[tdsmith]

Yeah, looks like Debian applies a small patch to distorm64; we can probably just inreplace this away. https://sources.debian.net/src/distorm64/1.7.30-1/debian/patches/101_python_path/

[Jo-Con-El]

Oh, look, this is me! :-) I didn't even remember that I made that patch.

I still have this issue when installing Bokken through Homebrew.

Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/bokken--distorm64-1.7.30.tar.gz
==> make
 #include <python2.5/Python.h>
          ^
1 error generated.
make: *** [../../src/pydistorm.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Oops, closed my PR against bokken accidentally. It needs work and I don't use it so it's not a real priority for me; you can use #36052 as a starting point if you want to take a crack at it.

[Jo-Con-El]

Anyway we are going to deprecate the pyew engine (which is the culprit of using distorm64) in the next release (1.7 is out since a couple of days), so maybe you can move on and just prefer radare2-only builds.

After I try to install again the same error is still persist in homebrew.

What should I do to fix this issue? Should I comment to install distorm64 and pyew in the formula?

[smarek]

I can confirm this issue exists on 10.10, and PR #36052 when merged fixes the issue

[apjanke]

Same failure on 10.11 beta, too.
