tried installing in both centos and ubuntu linux. it fails to install.. g++: ../../xt_base/lib/miscutil.a: No such file or directory only two rpm were created in created.. one adms and another fasthenry.. no other rpm came..

wrcad commented 7 years ago

Yes, the initial check-in required that the directory xt/xt_base/lib be created by hand, or xt_base and dependencies would not build. This should be repaired in the current HEAD.

wrcad commented 7 years ago

The master branch is ok now. Ubuntu is not supported yet, only rom-based distribs.

This time 5 rpm got build and they got installed: xictools_adms-LinuxRHEL6.x86_64 0:2.3-61 xictools_fastcap-LinuxRHEL6.x86_64 0:2.0-12
xictools_fasthenry-LinuxRHEL6.x86_64 0:3.0-13 xictools_mrouter-LinuxRHEL6.x86_64 0:1.2-2
xictools_vl-LinuxRHEL6.x86_64 0:4.3-2
But list is not showing up main xic graphical tools for layout and wrspice. am I missing something?

thanks

sanj0212 commented 7 years ago

/usr/local/xictools/bin/ folder content is listed below: admsXml capgen fastcap fcpp lstunpack pipedgen vl
busgen cubegen fasthenry lstpack mrouter pyragen zbuf

where is the main xic program in this list? I am sure something more is missing..

wrcad commented 7 years ago

There should be 8 packages, mozy, wrspice, and xic are missing.

There is an initial effort to separate mozy from the rest, since it has GNU licensing. I don't know if this currently works. If you have the flag to skip mozy set in the top-level Makefile, this could be the problem. Otherwise, some other issue could be causing the mozy build to fail, which would break xic and wrspice. If you can find where the build fails in the build output, that would be helpful. It builds ok for me. I'll check/fix the mozy separability tomorrow.

yes.. I flagged skip mozy statement in the makefile while building it. I reinstalled everything as per original Makefile. Everything build fine and There are 8 rpm. could install and invoke the tool. Many thanks..

sanj0212 commented 7 years ago

Thanks for your support. I would wish for this tool availability in Ubuntu Linux.

wrcad commented 7 years ago

Good, glad to hear you're up and running. There are some rough edges currently but things will settle down over time. Please forward any comments/questions.

The schematic editor is "electrical mode" in Xic. Select "Electrical" in the View menu.
