cannot make build

[verybigelephants]

I am trying to make the malware finder (having go and libyara installed), but i am getting this error

:~/php-malware-finder$ make
build github.com/jvoisin/php-malware-finder: cannot find module for path embed
make: *** [Makefile:21: php-malware-finder] Error 1

Could you help me finding out what could be wrong?

What are your libyara and go versions?

[verybigelephants]

go is go1.11.6 linux/amd64
and libyara is 3.9.0

same on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS amd64
go1.13.8
libyara 3.9.0

As specified in the readme, the project requires libyara >= 4.2 to compile. I'll try to publish a pre-compiled release in the next few days, in the meantime for distros that don't have the right libyara version in their repos I'd suggest using the docker image.

Is there a way to statically compile it ?

[mdeous]

Actually not in our case, my bad. The only solution would either be to manually install a more recent version of YARA, or to use the Docker image.

Closing this as it's related to a wrong dependency version.
