[question] How to set up OpenLane without Docker?

[yurivict]

Docket isn't available for my platform.

Are there instructions how to set up OpenLane without it?

refer this https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/docs/source/local_installs.md

@yurivict Also, feel free to ask us anything if your intent here is to get OpenLane running on FreeBSD. We already try to avoid GNU-specific APIs but there may be one or two corner cases.

Yes, I am trying to run OpenLane on FreeBSD. Thank you.

Trying to port the dependencies.
So far I found that cugr doesn't build on non-Linux OSes because it contains pre-built static libraries libdef.a and liblef.a that are only for Linux.

It seems that the rsyn project should be able to install these libraries but it doesn't build: RsynTeam/rsyn-x#28

That's what stopped me so far.

cugr/drcu are not 100% required, they are simply alternatives to using the global and detailed routers in OpenROAD. The local installer should make no attempt to install them in fact.

Staled out.
