yaracpp build fails with "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs"

jasonboggess opened this issue · comments

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Followed instructions in README.MD
  2. Fixed issues with Bison (see avast/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':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

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.

config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by yara configure 3.6.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

configure: exit 1

it looks like ./build.sh succeeded

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

Great 👍
