How to get gdb to work using macports under OSX 10.11 El Capitan?

问题

This arose from How to install gdb (debugger) in Mac OSX El Capitan?.

I have macports working under el capitan no problem and have installed the gdb port but I can't get the codesigning to work. It all seems to have worked. The certificate is there and "Always Trust" is set. The binary shows:

$ codesign -d -v -v /opt/local/bin/ggdb 
Executable=/opt/local/bin/ggdb
Identifier=org.gnu.gdb
Format=Mach-O thin (x86_64)
CodeDirectory v=20100 size=25320 flags=0x0(none) hashes=1261+2 location=embedded
Signature size=1392
Authority=gdb-cert
Signed Time=23 Oct 2015, 07:56:53
Info.plist entries=4
TeamIdentifier=not set
Sealed Resources=none
Internal requirements count=1 size=88

but I get

(gdb) r
Starting program: /Users/sal/Katiss/ecodriving 
Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 39278: (os/kern) failure (0x5).
(please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8))

when I try to start debugging something.

Any ideas?

回答1:

I just settled this problem by using the following command.

sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a yourusername -t user procmod

Which adds you to group procmod.

It's just because only users in procmod can use function task_for_pid, and you can find that the own group of /opt/local/bin/ggdb is procmod.
