3 years ago Thanks @aquynh for ultra fast response :-) I have cloned the repository and it turns out that missing LIBCAPSTONE_PATH seems to be the cause on FreeBSD where all userland is located in /usr/local not / as in Linux :-)
% LIBCAPSTONE_PATH=/usr/local/lib python setup.py buildCan we put some sort of if that would detect FreeBSD and set that path or simply add this path to search? If so where should I put this one? With that hint I will provide a pr in a moment :-)

3 years ago Hmm, even with this path provided in env, the installed python module does not remember where to find a library. Probably /usr/local/lib needs to be added into the search path :-)
./test_basic.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ImportError("ERROR: fail to load the dynamic library.")
ImportError: ERROR: fail to load the dynamic library.I have found a hint [1] to use python setup.py build --rpath=/usr/local/lib to "bake in" the library path but current setup.py does not seem to know -R nor --rpath stuff :-(
% LIBCAPSTONE_PATH=/usr/local/lib python setup.py build --rpath=/usr/local/lib

or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: option --rpath not recognizedWe need to find a way to "bundle" the library path within the python module. When building the module without LIBCAPSTONE_PATH I get exactly the same error as pip produces trying to build the whole stuff (C extenstions + Python module).
We need to use either system provided library or fix the C module from within the Python binding (using cmake by hand it builds fine).

3 years ago Build problem is a make (bsd) vs gmake (gnu) issue. When using gmake it builds fine. When using cmake it builds even better :-) Will prepare the pr and report back :-)

3 years ago Hey @aquynh there goes yet another fix to build on all BSD platforms https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/pull/1753 :-) Tested on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD :-)
Would that be possible to create a patch release 4.0.3 that builds on BSD with pip please? :-)

11 months ago Good day, on FreeBsd 13.2 x64 still not installing.
The fix LIBCAPSTONE_PATH=/usr/local/lib pip install capstone solved problem.

Hello world :-)
Capstone is now a dependency for https://github.com/pyocd/pyOCD and it does not build on FreeBSD when installing with
pip:-(The capstone 3 and 4 packages are available and I have installed version 4 on my system. Even though I cannot build a Python package. Build log is provided below. At first glance it looks like
/bin/shvs/bin/bashormake(bsd) vsgmake(gnu) problem..? Also build complains about missinglibcapstone.so.4but this one is installed - missing/usr/local/prefix somewhere?Any hints welcome :-)
