Error during compilation: missing "lexer.h"

[RootLUG]

Hello,
I am trying to install yara-python on my mac (from pypi, 4.0.2 version) which complaints about missing "lexer.h" header file during compilation. I found out that this header file is provided in the main yara repository in the include files but is not being copied to OS as part of installation.

I attempted to install the published homebrew package (latest 4.0.2) as well as force rebuild from sources. Here is the output and content of the installed yara:

As it can be seen header files from include/yara are being copied however the one file "lexer.h" that python-yara errors on is missing although it is present in the repository when I checked manually. Is there some compile/install flags I need to add to have that file included/copied on my OS?

Copy paste of error when doing pip install yara-python:

I see also that there is -Iyara/libyara/ -Iyara/libyara/include but shouldn't then the include header be "yara/lexer.h" ?

parser.h: #include "lexer.h" #include <yara/lexer.h>
