I tried to move the stdbool.h file to the wheel file of yara, it didn't work either and there were other problems

I am encountering same error. If you can, try to revert to installing 3.11.0 since that worked for me.

Hey guys.
I'm facing the same problem.
I tried to build yara-python on python2.7 and it doesn't work from many problems.

You probably need to tell it where to find yara.lib. You should be able to modify LIBPATH to point to where ever your yara.lib is. Looks like the Windows build doesn't work with dynamic linking?

[hhyygg2009]

pip install yara-python==3.11.0 It's work for me on Python 2.7

thanks it solve my problem, it also work with wine
