Here's a Docker image I made for the OpenROAD GUI: https://github.com/wokwi/openroad-docker I published it to DockerHub, so you can run it immediately (without building anything). This is how I run it:

Copy code

docker run -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}" --network host -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /home/uri/asic_tools:/tools:ro -e OPENLANE_ROOT=/tools/openlane -e PDK_ROOT=/tools/pdk wokwi/openroad-gui -gui

You'll have you replace

/home/uri/asic_tools

with the path to the directory that contains the PDK and openlane

Can't you do this from the regular OL image?

Nope. I tried that before adventuring with building OpenROAD myself.

The openroad in the regular OL image (mpw-3a tag) says:

Copy code

% openroad -gui
[ERROR] This code was compiled with the GUI disabled.  Please recompile with Qt5 if you want the GUI.

I guess mpw-3a is on an older OL version as the current master version supports -gui. @User what version is mpw-3a using?
