Hi,

I have just built klayout 0.25.9 on my mac (10.14.4). It was successful (no errors), but I couldn't open it. It says:

"klayout cannot be opened because of a problem."

And

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: libklayout_tl.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/USER/*/klayout.app/Contents/MacOS/klayout
  Reason: image not found

Details:

  1. I followed the instruction on website, where tar hzxvf klayout-*.tar.gz threw an error because option h and x conflicted so I removed h for extraction.

  2. My environment:

Using qmake: qmake
    Using Qt 5 API

    I also tried running make after building, but

    fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

    Hi,

    Building KLayout (0.25 and later) on Mac OS is a bit complicated task.
    You need to resolve dependencies among many libraries and binaries.

    I have mimicked what you wanted to do on my Yosemite (still!) with anaconda3.
    Please refer to https://github.com/Kazzz-S/klayout/issues/34 for details.

    Hope this will help you in your Mojave environment, too.

    Hello Kazzz,

    Thank you so much for the very detailed instructions. I have built successfully and I was able to open klayout.

    There was a small problem though. When I checking the python console in Macros Developments, I ran into an error when trying to import numpy. The error message is as follows:

    IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.  Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
Here is how to proceed:

    ...

    Original error was: dlopen(/Users/xyan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.cpython-37m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libopenblas.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/xyan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.cpython-37m-darwin.so
  Reason: image not found

  /Users/xyan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py:71
  /Users/xyan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py:142
  (eval):1

    Then removed my numpy and reinstalled via conda install and it solved the problem. The reason I mention this is because that this error message looks very similar to what I had before, so now I suspect that my previous problem was also due to this numpy issue (?).

    Anyway, thanks so much for your help. I can use klayout for my applications now.

    Best,
    xyan
