Issue with OpenLane 1 and with Klayout and starting correctly from within "make mount" #2160

Closed ctalar closed 1 month ago

ctalar commented 1 month ago

Description

On MacOS BigSur (Processor Intel: i7) after successfully running:

cd $HOME
cd OpenLane
make
make test
make mount

When invoking klayout to see the gds generated, klayout doesn't start as expected:
klayout ./designs/spm/runs/openlane_test/results/final/gds/spm.gds

OpenLane Container (1.1.1):/openlane% klayout -v
KLayout 0.29.1

Expected Behavior

Expect klayout to start and visualize the generated gds

OpenLane using Docker does not support GUIs on macOS, sadly. You'd have to modify the Makefile and use XQuartz to do that, which is very finicky and highly setup-dependent. (Heck, even on Linux it's something of a nightmare situation now what with SELinux, AppArmor and similar…)

If you'd like a GUI on macOS, the official supported solution is installing OpenLane 2.0 or later using Nix as shown in this guide: https://openlane2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/common/nix_installation/installation_macos.html

Thanks Mohamed, that’s very good to know. I was starting to think I was jinxed :-)

I guess it is not a big deal, one can install klayout externally to see the gds.
