| Hi all, I am trying to execute the OpenROAD in a cluster machine. However, in this machine, I am not able to install the dependencies to compile the OpenROAD or even use the docker image to run the OpenROAD. | |
| I was wondering if it is possible to set a cmake flag to generate a static binary (without any dependencies) for the OpenROAD project. With this, I will be able to run this binary on every machine that I need. | |
| Does someone know how to do this? | |

| Bazel rules hdl supports fully static builds of openroad. | |
| Just download bazel, git clone https://github.com/hdl/bazel_rules_hdl | |
| And run bazel build @org_theopenroadproject//:openroad in the git repo. | |
| It also statically builds the entire dependency chain of openroad from source. | |
