openFPGALoader in macOS M1 version has a bad path hardcoded (?) for SPI-over-JTAG flash programming

[aspdigital]

I'm working with a Spartan-7 device (for the time being on an Arty board), with an SPI flash for configuration. My specific version of the oss-cad-suite-build is 20230211, and I see there were issues building it later.

When I do

% openFPGALoader -b arty_s7_25 -f test_design.bit

I get an error when it tries to load the SPI-programmer bit file:

write to flash
Jtag frequency : requested 6.00MHz   -> real 6.00MHz  
Open file DONE
Parse file DONE
use: /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7s25csga324.bit.gz
Error: fail to open /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7s25csga324.bit.gz
Error: Failed to program FPGA: Error: fail to open /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7s25csga324.bit.gz

and it's obviously because I don't have the /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader path.

The loader binary archive is in /Applications/oss-cad-suite/share/openFPGALoader

Is this an issue with how you're building this tool? Anything special I can do, short of downloading the source for it and building it separately?

This issue isn't confined to macOS. When I try to program SPI flash using the 64-bit Linux build the same issue occurs:

$ openFPGALoader -b nexysVideo -f test.bit
write to flash
Jtag frequency : requested 6.00MHz   -> real 6.00MHz  
Open file DONE
Parse file DONE
use: /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7a200tsbg484.bit.gz
Error: fail to open /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7a200tsbg484.bit.gz
Error: Failed to program FPGA: Error: fail to open /yosyshq/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7a200tsbg484.bit.gz

File location:

$ ls -l /opt/oss-cad-suite/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7a200tsbg484.bit.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10787 Apr 17 13:53 /opt/oss-cad-suite/share/openFPGALoader/spiOverJtag_xc7a200tsbg484.bit.gz

This issue occurs in both 2023-03-01 and 2023-04-17 64-bit Linux releases of oss-cad-suite.

I have added issue on openFPGALoader trabucayre/openFPGALoader#333, since location of files is hard coded when compiling, and currently can not be altered after, so requested feature to be able to do this.
