OMNeT++ 5.0 with gdb on MacOS

[Marcel Marek]

Hello,

I am trying to run OMNeT++ with gdb under MacOS X 10.12.1.

I followed the instructions in the installation guide (only exception that I installed gdb via HomeBrew).

I verified my installation by successfully running the dyna example.

When I tried to run the IDE I got an error regarding security (untrusted developer).

I managed to by-pass it by locating the omnetpp in bin folder and selecting open, but the IDE crashes immediately (I can provide the full crashlog).

I found a solution to execute IDE by directly running ide/omnetpp.app/Contents/MacOS/omnetpp from the omnetpp directory.

Now when I try to debug an example I get the following error

Error in final launch sequence

  Failed to execute MI command:

-exec-run

Error message from debugger back end:

Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 76305: (os/kern) failure (0x5).\n (please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8))

  Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 76305: (os/kern) failure (0x5).\n (please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8))

I've included all the steps that lead to this error because I am new to MacOS, so there might actually be error in one of the previous steps.
