Killed:9 while trying to run GHDL Yosys plugin on darwin-arm64

[consanii]

Pretty much as description.

I have fresh darwin-arm64 binaries from the release page (version 2024-08-29), and I have also run the ./activate script to remove the quarantine flags. I source the environment as described on the readme with source path/to/oss-cad-suite/environment.fish on my fish shell and as soon as I try to run the Yosys GHDL plugin (with something like yosys -m ghdl) the process gets immediately killed.

If I use the darwin-x64 binaries everything works as expected.

My system is running on a Apple M1 Pro, on MacOS 14.6.1 .

That's odd.

I can source both the environment and the environment.fish scripts from ZSH and Fish respectively. As far as I know I don't have any lingering ghdl modules stored anywhere on my machine from trying to configure this stack manually the first time.

Can you try yosys -g -m ghdl? Maybe there is some debug logging that could pinpoint this better. Alternatively could you try to open just yosys, and then - inside its shell - manually loading the plugin with plugin -i ghdl?

I'm just pulling these suggestions of out nowhere, btw. I'm about as "fresh" to this as it gets, but I did add the GHDL support for darwin-arm64 - so I feel somewhat responsible.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I tried both commands, here is the result:

Hi, chiming in with the same issue, M1 iMac, MacOS 14.6.1, Yosys 0.44+71.
Any luck getting it running?
Cheers!

Hah! Found my issue. Apparently it was a signature caching issue, even though I ran the activate script.
For me, the fix was navigating to the oss-cad-suite/lib/ dir, the re-signing libghdl-5_0_0_dev.dylib, by running codesign --sign - --force --preserve-metadata=entitlements,requirements,flags,runtime libghdl-5_0_0_dev.dylib. All works fine after this.

I had yosys installed via Homebrew before, so it might have borked something in the signature caching inside MacOS.
Hope this helps you also!

Nice catch @jtmaston, your solution fixed the problem for me as well!

For context, I have not installed yosys from Homebrew, but I do have multiple versions of the oss-cad-suite for darwin-x64. It's possible this is causing some interference.
