Could not find "Q_WS_WIN", "Q_WS_QWS" and "Q_WS_MAC" during the cmake

[tomqingo]

Hello! I am following the AMFPlacer because we are doing the MLCAD2023 contest concerning the FPGA Macro placement. Because there is no requirement of timing, we use the AMF-Placer-ICCAD-2021 release. However, when I input "bash build.sh". An error indicates that there are some problems saying that it could not find "Q_WS_WIN", "Q_WS_QWS" and "Q_WS_MAC". The CMakeError.log is as follows:

Determining if the Q_WS_WIN exist failed with the following output:

I have checked that we have already installed Qt 4 and Qt 5. And I do not know how to solve this problem. Could you help me to see why it would happen and how to deal with it.

Thanks,

Hi @tomqingo
It is related to the default dependencies of Eigen3. The problem can be resolved by disabling Eigen3 test at this line: https://github.com/zslwyuan/AMF-Placer/blob/ICCAD-2021/src/lib/3rdParty/eigen3-src/CMakeLists.txt#LL481C1-L481C59
You might also encounter problem of generating Eigen3 Doc, so you can disable documentation at this line: https://github.com/zslwyuan/AMF-Placer/blob/ICCAD-2021/src/lib/3rdParty/eigen3-src/CMakeLists.txt#L475
