Hi folks 👋
Forgive me if I'm getting the mailing list etiquette wrong — first time poster.
I ended up sitting next to Thomas Munro at PGDU 2018 and talking about testing. While trying to get `make check`
runningon my macbook, I think I may have fixed this issue.
System Integrity Protection strips dynamic linker (dyld) environment variables, such as DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, during
exec(2)[1] so we need to rewrite the load paths inside binaries when relocating then during make temp-install before
makecheck on darwin. Homebrew does something similar [2]. I've attached a patch which adjust the Makefile and gets make
checkworking on my machine with SIP in tact.
Cheers,
Sam
