OpenROAD Build From Sources

Subcategory: Compilation error

Hello Guys,

I am using ArchLinux and I have been using OpenROAD from an install package from the AUR. This install does not seem to work anymore (it was working on my setup a couple of weeks ago).

So I am trying to build from sources but I get the same errors as I get with the AUR package:

Seems to be something related to Swig with TCL. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Thanks for your help

maliberty

What version of TCL and swig do you have installed?

maliberty

Perhaps something is different in 4.2.1 as with 4.1.0 I don't see any used of Tcl_Size in tclSwig.h. Is it possible for you to downgrade?

stefanottili

Does anybody know how to downgrade swig on MacOS M1 homebrew ? The current SWIG Version 4.2.1 causes the same error here. Can be worked around by commenting out the two offending lines, they seem to be in an error path ...
