@User, when running the following from commit

14a2389f9d2ed521fffd3e69928763ddb07bc434

of open_pdks as per the "TL;DR" section of `sky130/README`:

$ ./configure --enable-sky130-pdk --with-sky130-local-path=/home/tom/pdks

I get

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-sky130-local-path

. What is the correct procedure now to install the sky130 PDK in my specified location

/home/tom/pdks

?

I just finished installing with:

./configure --enable-sky130-pdk=/Users/ronaldv/Projects/repositories/skywater-pdk  --prefix=/Users/ronaldv/Projects/PDKs

Doesn't the prefix get appended with something like /share or something (not near my computer so can't look up exactly what) or did those arguments put it into the exact path you specified?

this is where it ended up: (worked for me)

/Users/ronaldv/Projects/PDKs/share/pdk/

Yeah that's what I figured. Thanks @20Mhz. @Tim Edwards, is there a way to specify a path for the final install location without the script appending

/share/pdk/

?

Yes, there is; you can run configure and pass

--datadir=<path>

; then if, e.g., path =

/usr/local

then the install will end up in

/usr/local/pdk/sky130A

. If you want to get rid of the

/pdk/

as well, then you can override the whole thing by calling "make install" with

SHARED_PDKS_PATH=<path>

; then if, e.g. path =

/usr/local

then the install will end up in

/usr/local/sky130A

.

Terrific, thank you.

I was just trying to figure this out as well.
