Error when getting go-yara

[Xumeiquer]

I have a fresh Debian box with the latest version of Yara (3.11) as well as Golang which is 1.14.1. When running go get github.com/hillu/go-yara I get the following output:

go install github.com/hillu/go-yara

                           ;

By running pkg-config I get the following:

pkg-config --libs yara
-L/usr/local/lib -lyara

pkg-config --cflags yara
-DUSE_LINUX_PROC -pthread -DMAGIC_MODULE -DHASH_MODULE -I/usr/local/include

Any ideas?

Apparently, you are not using YARA 3.11 but a pre-release version of YARA 4.0.0 from Github (master). If you switch to the version tagged as v3.11.0, you should find that everything builds just fine.
