Same issue.

[blacktop]

@aquynh macOS 10.14 (Mojave) deprecated support for i386 so removing it from https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/blob/master/Makefile#L13 would fix this.

[t3hp0rP]

1. Download source package in https://pypi.org/project/capstone/#files
2. Delete the i386 LIBARCHS in Your_PACKAGE PATH/src/MakeFile just like @blacktop said.
3. Then run pip install Your_PACKAGE_PATH will work perfectly.
4. Problem solved. Thanks to @blacktop

[t3hp0rP]

And same solution for unicorn in Mojave. Pwntools installed 😄

[aquynh]

Please send a pull req to remove i386, i will merge it, thanks.

[cokia]

I think this issue should close.. thanks for Contribution of all..!

[Inndy]

Try this as a temporary solution: https://gist.github.com/Inndy/cc9f725c22f23fe87182fd895e7e7ff3

[MichaelBoublil]

@Pr0phet Hi, I tried the same solution for unicorn but sadly it does not work for me. Could you please give me more details about what you removed from unicorn files ? Thank you !

[disconnect3d]

@MichaelHalfon See this for unicorn: https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn/issues/206

For me, this worked on Mojave:

brew install unicorn && UNICORN_QEMU_FLAGS="--python=`whereis python`" pip install unicorn`

[aquynh]

We just released Capstone 4.0, which works for Mojave now. You can upgrade from older version with:

$ sudo pip install capstone --upgrade

[ameisehaufen]

I'm trying to use capstone==3.0.5rc2, but there is no LIBARCHS in the Makefile or in any file. Doesn't work either with changing MACOS_UNIVERSAL=no. Anyone had the same problem with this specific version? (I can't upgrade because I'm using roach 0.1.2 that needs capstone3.0.5rc2 only.)

I'm receiving the following error message:

we still keep the branch https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/tree/v3 for v3.

i can fix this Mojave issue in this branch if you want.

Thank you, I think it will be important for those who uses packages with depends on this specific version (I think there are a lot in this situation).

But, as a good workaround (It took me half of a day to realize that) is just to change the compiler from Xcode to gcc.

env CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-8 pip install capstone-3.0.5rc2.tgz

I had some problems with libjpeg too. When I tryed to: cmake -DCAPSTONE_X86_SUPPORT=0 to remove x86 build (but didn't work anyway, even with corret libraries, it still try to build to x86)

 dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
  Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libJPEG.dylib
 in /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
Abort trap: 6

It was using the home brew libraries. I had to do: export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/:ADDITION_LIBRARY_PATH_LOCATION to avoid that.

I hope it help you to track bugs.
