cannot install blpapi in macOS

Question

I have just tried to install blpapi into my MacBook and I have the below error. I have installed the C++ SDK and export both BLPAPI_ROOT and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the right directory. It generates errors like

error: use of undeclared identifier 'blpapi_SessionOptions_print'

Does anyone know or have encountered this issue before?

export BLPAPI_ROOT=/Users/kc/Documents/python/blpapi_cpp_3.8.1.1
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/kc/Documents/python/blpapi_cpp_3.8.1.1/Darwin

一种快速的解决方案是从conda-forge渠道使用conda进行安装，因为那里有一个mac版本，即

conda install -c conda-forge blpapi
