Problems Installing on Windows

[dc854]

I have tried installing Calyx on both Windows and WSL, and ran into a couple of issues. The first is that after running runt -i core, all the tests fail. For Windows, I tried to flit -f fud/pyproject.toml install -s and it appears to run into this error fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'CL/cl.h': No such file or directory while on WSL it says Command 'flit' not found. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ah, sorry about that! Here are possible problems:

1. Can you run the flit install command like this: flit -f fud/pyproject.toml install -s --deps production and see if that works. It seems one of the dependencies (opencl) may be the problem.
2. The WSL error seems to imply that flit isn't installed or on your path. Can you prepend python -m ... to the flit commands and see if WSL finds flit. If not, install flit using python -m pip install flit first.

Weird, it should also report the version of iverilog you have installed. Can you make sure you're on the latest commit by running git pull? If none of this works, can you come by Gates 407 between 4.30pm-6pm today and we'll try to help.

Indeed… you might also consider installing Icarus Verilog from source (as suggested by the front page of the Calyx docs), if you got it from apt or similar before.

I will try some of the other installation options tonight, but are you available tomorrow just in case I cannot get it to work. Unfortunately, I am not free at the times you suggested.

Sorry, no. I can keep responding here and we regularly have "calyx office hours" every wednesday from 4.30-6. I'm almost certain that the problem is the wrong icarus version. You need >= 11.0 and fud check should've warned you about this but some reason doesn't.
