Issues with macOS Sonoma update

[Georges Vinotte]

Hi All,

Following the latest macOS update (Sonoma 14.2) an issue occur on my Applesilicom macs (both on M2 MacBook Air and M3-Pro MacBook Pro).

All the GPU tasks from PrimeGrig failed due a Permission denied with OpenCL-c.h file (see 'Stdeer output' file below)

Stderr output

<core_client_version>7.24.2</core_client_version>

To solve this issue, I had to uninstall and reinstall BM!

I don't know where this bug comes from, but i have seen the same issue on PrimeGrid tasks history for a lot of people running Applesilicon machine under Sonoma.

I hope this report can help you.

Cheers,

Georges
