Yara fails to build on Debian 10. Seems to be related to Issue #1163

That's probably because pkg-config is missing. Try installing it.

ITServ-DE commented 4 years ago

yes, that did the job.

Strange, I was copy-and-pasting from the documentation ... obvisously, I did not select the entire package list.

Thank you for your help.

plusvic commented 4 years ago

No, I added pkg-config to the documentation after you report ;)

ITServ-DE commented 4 years ago

So I don't have to ask you to do so ... but felt stupid for a while ;-)

Thanks

Unfortunately, I get the following trace.

./configure: line 15676: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PROTOBUF_C, libprotobuf-c >= 1.0.0)'

I've tried installing libprotobuf-dev afterwards as well to see if that would fix the issue, but to no avail. What worked for me was to run autoreconf -i, and the ./configure and it worked!

Just leaving this here if someone else has the same issue after me :)
