ibccurl.so: unknown file type

[rafalf]

I am seeing the following exception on my Mac while performing local POW

exception: dlopen(/Users/rafalfusik/gitprojects/iotaPerfm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pow/libccurl.so, 6): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Users/ABC/gitprojects/iotaPerfm/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pow/libccurl.so: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x7F 0x45 0x4C 0x46 0x02 0x01 0x01 0x00

what I have installed

• pip install pyota

• pip install pyota[ccurl]

• pip install pyota[pow]

hey @rafalf , yeah, the pip version is for linux. If you want to use it on Mac, you have to recompile the c library libccurl.so. You can do so by following this: https://github.com/iotaledger/ccurl.interface.py#installation

@rafalf essentially you need to clone the repo, run init.sh and then pip install -e .

I ran the init and then installed but then I found out that the image is not getting built

(venv) Rafals-MacBook-Air:ccurl.interface.py ABC$ cd ccurl_repo/ccurl && mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build .
CMake Deprecation Warning at deps/libopencl-stub/CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

cd ../../..
 $(find ./ccurl_repo -name "*.so")

and I get no hits, .so aint getting built

@rafalf is it possible that on mac, cmake builds a .dylib instead of a .so?

[rafalf]

@lzpap Yup

(venv) Rafals-MacBook-Air:ccurl.interface.py ABC$ find ./ccurl_repo -name "*.dylib"
./ccurl_repo/ccurl/build/lib/libccurl.dylib

[lzpap]

@rafalf just out of curiosity, what happens, when you rename the created file to .so? Does it work? If not, then quite some things should be changed in the repo, it was developed with mainly linux and windows in mind...

[rafalf]

Copied a few bits and pieces from the init

mv ./ccurl_repo/ccurl/build/lib/libccurl.dylib ./ccurl_repo/ccurl/build/lib/libccurl.so
LIB=$(find ./ccurl_repo -name "*.so")
WD=$(pwd)
cp $LIB $WD/pow
pip install -e .

Working like a charme @lzpap . thanks mate!
