tools_install.make
Builds the whole open source toolchain from source. Written for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and used when there is no aicex container to hand.
make -f tools_install.make # everything
make -f tools_install.make cmagic # just magic
all is apt tcl tk cmagic cxschem cnetgen cngspice copen_pdks end.
Each tool has two targets: a bare one that clones or downloads the source (magic, xschem, netgen, ngspice, open_pdks, tcl8.6.10, tk8.6.10) and a c-prefixed one that configures, builds and installs it.
| Target | Installs |
|---|---|
apt | Build dependencies: flex, bison, tk8.6, cairo, X11 and readline headers |
tcl / tk | Tcl/Tk 8.6.10 into /usr/local/opt2/tcl-tk |
cmagic | magic |
cxschem | xschem |
cnetgen | netgen |
cngspice | ngspice with xspice, pss, openmp and cider enabled |
copen_pdks | sky130 only; gf180mcu, klayout, irsim, openlane and qflow are all disabled |
INSTALL_PATH is /usr/local/eda and end reminds you to add it to your shell:
export PDK_ROOT=/usr/local/eda/share/pdk
export PATH=/usr/local/eda/bin:$PATH
Two workarounds worth knowing. Magic and netgen are patched with perl -pe to add -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration, because newer compilers reject what their configure scripts emit. Xschem’s Makefile.conf has its CFLAGS and LDFLAGS commented out and replaced with explicit include and library paths, since the generated ones do not find the Tcl/Tk built above.
Note the X11 paths (/opt/X11) are the macOS XQuartz ones, so on a plain Ubuntu box those --x-includes/--x-libraries arguments need changing.
