Problems building - undefined reference to `ord::getLogger()'

[oharboe]

Any idea what is going on here?

@oharboe
Have you removed OpenROAD-flow-scripts/tools directory before building again.
Sometimes it may cause the issue.
@vvbandeira Can please check this?

[vvbandeira]

Probably adding --clean is a good idea if this is not the first time you are building and changing the arguments.

[oharboe]

Tried rm -rf tools, "--clean-force", etc. Still no luck.

[vvbandeira]

Compile works fine for me with commit 18087e3.

What is the output of git status --branch --ignored --untracked-files=normal --short?

[oharboe]

The problem is with my home machine, it works fine at the office.

git status --branch --ignored --untracked-files=normal --short

[maliberty]

which binary is it building when the error happens?

[oharboe]

It is building tools/OpenROAD.

[oharboe]

Rejoice! I finally got it to compile. I deleted the entire ORFS folder, recloned, reran sudo ./setup.sh and then the build worked.

So, somewhere inside the ORFS folder there was an out of date file that wasn't being built...

It would be nice to know what exactly is going wrong, but I guess that will have to wait until next time it breaks and I do some more investigations?
