ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyjq
Failed to build pyjq
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyjq, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

this is my a part of error log.
i have installed flex, bison (3.0 or newer), libtool, make, automake and autoconf .
but i could not install pyjq

Yeah, same thing for me on intel macOS running Monterey and Ubuntu 21.04 and Python 3.9.9 and Python 3.8.12.

I was able to manage using Python 3.9.9 and updated dependencies. Hope that helps.

Downloading pyjq-2.5.2-cp39-cp39-macosx_11_0_x86_64.whl (33 kB)
Installing collected packages: pyjq
Successfully installed pyjq-2.5.2

Looks like yours may be failing on the autoconf dependency.
I'm using the latest build from homebrew for that:

autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.71

Hope that helps. Best of luck!

I also had trouble building the wheel, the subprocess ran into problems with this message:

Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/autoconf/2.71/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 274.

I managed to solve the issue by installing automake:

brew install automake

In general, after installing Xcode, the following dependencies should suffice to build the wheel:

brew install autoconf automake libtool
