The current script will fail at the last ln command. The fix is to remove the quotes from https://gist.github.com/psifertex/31d9bc3167eca91e466ebaae4382521c#file-binexport_binja-zsh-L32-L33 (and above as well)
Done, mind checking to see if it works for you now?

It now works perfectly for me!
On Linux, due to implementation differenced in sed, L92f should be:
sed -i -E -e "s/(1bd42a73e612f50c68d802acda674c21a30e980c|6e2b374dece03f6fb48a1615fa2bfee809ec2157)/$BINARY_HASH/g" $BE_PATH/cmake/BinExportDeps.cmake
sed -i -E -e "s/2023-05-18/2023-09-24/g" $BE_PATH/cmake/BinExportDeps.cmake
(that is, remove the single quotes after -i)
Unfortunately the macOS sed requires that or it won't do the in-place replacement so I'll need to build some OS detection in as well. Just made that change but don't have time to test it right now so caveat emptor.

Personally I would s/2023-05-18/dev/ because nobody is running a Binary Ninja from a year and a half ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, that's a good point. I'm in the middle of re-writing the script to clean it up a ton anyway. If I have time I will try to get it working on windows too. I'll make sure to include that.
Somehow binexport new commit(google/binexport@b77ade3) raises boost error on compile time...

Unfortunately, not right now. I'll try to take a look at it when I have some time but it will be at least a week.
