Coriolis VLSI CAD Tools [offline]

In this case, we will setup a Debian 9 installation of Alliance/Coriolis under a Scientific Linux 7 os. This should also work for rhel or CentOS.
Debian 9 will be referred as the guest OS or the chrooted. Scientific Linux will be referred as the host OS.
We need the debootstrap and schroot packages (from the epel repository).
root@pc:~# yum install debootstrap schroot
On the host os, as the root user, create the directory into which the whole chrooted os will reside:
root@pc:~# mkdir -p /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis
root@pc:~# debootstrap stretch /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
root@pc:~# echo "debian9.coriolis" > /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/etc/debian_chroot
Then, we need to give access the chrooted distribution to some kernel filesystem of the host, namely dev, proc, sys & tmp. On the host filesytem, add to /etc/fstab:
# Your host normal mounts.
# ...
# For Jail chroot of Debian9.
/dev /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/dev none bind 0 0
/dev/pts /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/dev/pts none bind 0 0
/proc /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/proc none bind 0 0
/sys /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/sys none bind 0 0
/tmp /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/tmp none bind 0 0
Mount them:
root@pc:~# mount -a
Edit /etc/schroot.d/schroot.conf as follow:
[debian9.coriolis]
description=Debian 9 stretch
directory=/home/chroot/debian9.coriolis
users=ego
Note
Users in the schrooted environment. They must exists on both the host system and in the chrooted one. It is best if they also have the same uid / gid and home directories (relative to their respectives root). For example, for a ego user:
| On the Host | In the chrooted os |
|---|---|
| /home/ego | N/A |
| /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/home/ego | /home/ego |
Now that schroot is set, we can log in the guest os as root and add the minimal needed package set to build Alliance / Coriolis.
root@pc:~# schroot -c debian9.coriolis -u root
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~# export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~# apt-get update
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~# apt-get -y install build-essential binutils-dev \
git cmake bison flex gcc python-dev \
libboost-all-dev libboost-python-dev \
zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev rapidjson-dev \
libbz2-dev \
qt4-dev-tools libqwt-dev python-qt4 \
autotools-dev automake \
libxt-dev libxpm-dev libmotif-dev \
yosys \
vim
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~# apt-get clean
As stated before, we must create in the guest os a user that also exist on the host os, and with the same uid and home directory. Here we assume that ego has an uid of 20000.
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~# adduser --uid 20000 ego
Adding user `ego' ...
Adding new group `ego' (20000) ...
Adding new user `ego' (20000) with group `ego' ...
Creating home directory `/home/ego' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for ego
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Full Name []: Me Myself and I
Room Number []: 404
Work Phone []: 666 666 666
Home Phone []: 3615
Other []:
Is the information correct? [Y/n] Y
(debian9.coriolis)root@pc:~#
Download the installer script: socInstaller.py. And put it in the home directory of the user ego in the guest os.
Note
As it is more easier to download it from the host os, you may do so and just copy it under /home/chroot/debian9.coriolis/home/ego. As they share the same uid, the copy is allowed.
Now we can connect as the ego user on the guest os:
ego@pc:~> schroot -c debian9.coriolis -u ego
(debian9.coriolis)jpc@pc:~> ./socInstaller.py --chroot --profile=Debian9 \
--do-alliance --do-coriolis
