Steps to reproduce:

  1. Followed instructions in README.MD
  2. Fixed issues with Bison (see Build fails when using Bison 3.2 yaramod#11)
  3. Run make

Build fails with Error 2 on step yaracpp-project

yaracpp-project-build-err.log:

configure.ac:15: installing './compile'
configure.ac:5: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
configure: error: in `/Users/me/dev/retdec/build/external/src/yaracpp-project-build/deps/yara/src/yara':

Hi. Could you please attach /Users/me/dev/retdec/build/external/src/yaracpp-project-build/deps/yara/src/yara/config.log? It will contain the reason why the configure step failed.

Also, could you please try building the upstream version of YARA by performing the following steps?

git clone https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara
cd yara
./build.sh

If the build fails, please attach config.log.

Could you please try installing Xcode’s command-line tools as suggested in frida/frida#338 (comment), cleaning the build directory of RetDec and re-trying the build?

That seems to have fixed it. thanks

Mention that command-line tools need to be installed on macOS in README.

Otherwise, the build of YARA inside yaracpp fails with the following error:

    configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

We already had two bug reports because of this (#425, #433).
