[macOS] Regression: Mac builds crash on launch since #14414

[shinra-electric]

Quick summary

macOS builds will crash on launch since #14414

Details

I didn't want to report this initially since I'm on the Sonoma Beta, but looking at discord there are several other users on Ventura reporting the same issue.

I don't think it was actually #14414 that changed anything, I suspect it was a 3rdParty update, probably FAudio. (FAudio did update two days ago, but I don't see anything in the update that would affect this).

Edit 2: I see that SDL and FAudio were updated in #14400. This might be the cause.

Termination Reason:    Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
Library not loaded: @loader_path/../../../../opt/sdl2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib

Reason: tried: '/Users/user/Downloads/RPCS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/../../../../opt/sdl2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)
(terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)

From the report it looks like the FAudio.dylib is looking for the SDL2 dylib in the wrong place. It should be looking in @loader_path/../Frameworks/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib

Edit: Just to confirm, the SDL2 library is present in the Frameworks directory.

I'm just grabbing the latest disk image from cirrus-ci (rpcs3-v0.0.29-15536-08d9cbfe_macos.dmg) and still getting this error. It seems as if this should have made it into a build by then (merged 3 weeks ago, and it looks like CI makes a build with every merge)...so I'm not sure if it's something new.

Are there any known workarounds in the meantime?

Is it still the same error? What macOS version and CPU?

Hi, thanks for the response.

It’s not exactly the same error, but it’s likely related.
a new issue was opened in #14532.

[shinra-electric]

To clarify, we just avoided this specific issue by turning off FAudio.

But the underlying problem of improper rpaths and/or linking issues is still there, and has started affecting other dylibs.
