firtool: Unknown command line argument '-disable-infer-rw'. Try: 'firtool --help'

This is my first installation. When I execute "make verilog" directly, it prompts " firtool: Unknown command line argument '-disable-infer-rw'. Try: 'firtool --help' " error. The new version of firtool does not have the "-disable-infer-rw" option. I am using 1.38.0.

I found that "build.sc" still has that option.

build.sc:

object mfccompiler extends Module {
def compile = T {
os.proc("firtool",
generator.chirrtl().path,
s"--annotation-file=${generator.chiselAnno().path}",
"-disable-infer-rw",
"--disable-annotation-unknown",
"-dedup",
"-O=debug",
"--split-verilog",
"--preserve-values=named",
"--output-annotation-file=mfc.anno.json",
s"-o=${T.dest}"
).call(T.dest)
PathRef(T.dest)
}

Please use nix version of Circt this issues has been fixed by #3506

[sequencer]

I just merged #3506, you can have a try with dev branch, but please use circt from nix in the future since we only support one circt in rc

Please elaborate on how to build circt from Nix.

Hello, I have also encountered the same problem. Have you resolved this issue?

Yes, I solved this problem by using the Nix package manager. You should enable the Nix functionality that comes with the repository. For example: nix-shell ....
Please refer to the knowledge on how to use Nix features.
