Build Error

[adam-moss]

Currently experiencing a build error from node-gyp, and am hoping you may be able to shed some light.

Using macOS with yara installed via homebrew to:

/Users/user/.homebrew/Cellar/yara

Output from npm install is:

$ npm install --save yara --production

> yara@2.1.4 install /Users/user/projects/cli/node_modules/yara
> node-gyp rebuild

Hi @adam-moss

So I can see from the output:

error: 'yara.h' file not found with <angled> include; use

So the issue is clearly that yara.h cannot be found.

On a Mac I ran:

brew install yara
npm install yara

This built and installed as expected (with a few feature deprecatation warnings).

After this I could successfully use the example programs.

On my test system yara.h exists as the symbolic link /usr/local/include/yara.h which points to /usr/local/Cellar/yara/3.8.1_1/include/yara.h.

It doesn't help you, but on a clean test system it seems to work for me :(

Hi @stephenwvickers !

Thanks for the reply. So this is an issue on my machine, and your answer has helpfully pointed me in the right direction 😄

I don't have homebrew installed in the default location, I've actually got it in ~/.homebrew. So as a result I don't have a /usr/local/include but rather a ~/.homebrew/include.

So if I can work out how to inject that in the build process I should be fine 👍

[adam-moss]

And...

$ export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/opt/yara/lib"
$ export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/opt/yara/include"

$ npm install --save yara --production

Results in a correct install, with just the deprecation notices you've highlighted 😃
