2. Setting up the Environment
=============================
2.1 Setting up the Pathes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To simplify the tedious task of configuring your environment, a helper is provided.
It will setup or modify the :cb:`PATH`, :cb:`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or :cb:`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`
under |Darwin|), :cb:`PYTHONPATH` and :cb:`CORIOLIS_TOP` variables.
It should automatically adapt to your kind of shell (``Bourne`` like
or ``C-Shell`` like). ::
<CORIOLIS_INSTALL>/etc/coriolis2/coriolisEnv.py
Use it like this (don't forget the ``eval`` **and** the backquotes):
.. code-block:: console
dummy@lepka:~> eval `<CORIOLIS_INSTALL>/etc/coriolis2/coriolisEnv.py`
.. note:: **Do not call that script in your environement initialisation.**
When used under |RHEL6| or clones, it needs to be run in the |devtoolset2|
environement. The script then launch a new shell, which may cause an
infinite loop if it's called again in, say :cb:`~/.bashrc`.
Instead you may want to create an alias: ::
alias c2r='eval "`<CORIOLIS_INSTALL>/etc/coriolis2/coriolisEnv.py`"'
2.2 User's Configurations File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may create, in the directory you are lanching |Coriolis| tools, a special
sub-directory ``.coriolis2/`` that can contains two configuration files:
* ``techno.py`` tells which technology to use.
* ``settings.py`` can overrides almost any default configuration setting.
Those two files are *optional*, if they do not exists the default settings
will be used and the technology is ``symbolic/cmos`` (i.e. purely symbolic).
.. note:: Those two files will by processed by the |Python| interpreter,
so they can contain any code in addition to the mandatory
variables.
2.2.1 The :cb:`techno.py` File
------------------------------
Must provide one variable named :cb:`technology` which value the path towards
the technology file. The available technologies are installed under
``<CORIOLIS_INSTALL>/etc/coriolis2``. For example, to use the 45nm FreeDPK
which is in: ::
<CORIOLIS_INSTALL>/etc/coriolis2/45/freepdk_45/
The ``techno.py`` file must contain:
.. code-block:: Python
technology = '45/freepdk_45'
2.2.2 The :cb:`settings.py` File
--------------------------------
The entries of the ``parametersTable`` and their definitions are detailed
in `CGT - The Graphical Interface <../UsersGuide/ViewerTools.html>`_.
Example of file:
.. code-block:: Python
defaultStyle = 'Alliance.Classic [black]'
parametersTable = \
( ('misc.catchCore' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.info' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.paranoid' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.bug' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.logMode' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.verboseLevel1' , TypeBool , False )
, ('misc.verboseLevel2' , TypeBool , True )
)
