[OSX ERROR] SystemError: initialization of triton did not return an extension module about triton

[patrafter1999]

FYI, I followed the install instructions, which all went successfully.

$ git clone https://github.com/JonathanSalwan/Triton
$ cd Triton
$ mkdir build ; cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j3

So is it working? Once you did make -j3, you can then use make install and the python package will be pushed into your site-packages. (no need to do python -m build --wheel)

I'm also using MacOS with custom dependencies and below my compile:

cmake -DCAPSTONE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/Users/jonathan/Works/Tools/capstone-5.0.1/include/ \
      -DCAPSTONE_LIBRARIES=/Users/jonathan/Works/Tools/capstone-5.0.1/libcapstone.a \

Thanks a lot for your reply, @JonathanSalwan.

Everything went well until I've got that error message with 'import triton' :(. I use anaconda env with python 3.10. I had trouble with LLVM and BITWULZA, so I tried without them.

I will give it another go with your cmake. Thanks.

Cheers,

SystemError: initialization of triton did not return an extension module

From experiences, it can comes from:

• Not the correct python version compiled. Like you compile for py3.10 but py3.11 is used.
• The libtriton.dylib used by the Python interpreter can't find dependencies.

[patrafter1999]

That's interesting.

I can dig in more on the first point. What do you suggest me to check or correct for your second point on libtriton.dylib?

[JonathanSalwan]

Make sure you have only one libtriton installed on your system.

I am not familiar with all those tools, but I will figure it out. Thanks heaps, @JonathanSalwan !
