Installation for Debian

by anonymous - 9 Sep 2009, 13:05 CEST

Hi, I am trying to install

layout-20090828-linux.tar.bz2 or
layout_20090828_Debian_5.0_i386.deb

on Debian 5.0 but I am having no success so I hope to get some help here. I discribed below what I tried.

I run this: "dpkg -i layout_20090828_Debian_5.0_i386.deb"

and then: "layout"
a dialog appears, I choose GPL version and save a zip file that contains the source code.
I go into the folder of this source code and run: "qmake"
Then when I run "make", I get this error
:
make[1]: *** [layout.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/le/layout/src'
make: *** [sub-src-make_default] Error 2

Basically that's as far as I am getting. When trying layout-20090828-linux.tar.bz2 I get blocked at same stage.

Any suggestion welcome
Cheers
Steph

If you choose the demoversion in the dialog, did it run correctly?

The error is named before the lines you have listed. The listed lines just says that the compilation is aborted due to an previous error. Compilation errors are often the result of a missing header file or an old version of a library. Please upgrade/install the missing package.

Fantastic, thank you, it is now working. I had this package missing: libfreetype6-dev

Yes the demoversion was working correctly.

Great software by the way

Bye

The LayoutEditor™ is a program to design and edit layouts for MEMS/IC fabrication and CMOS IC design .Designing these layouts require a high precision. In IC design a sufficient resolution and a possibility of a high scaling is required. The resolution of the LayoutEditor can be set in a wide range and is normally set to 1 nano meter. A higher resolution makes no sense due to atomar structures. With this resolution the LayoutEditor can draw elements up to 4 meters. In many IC design houses this is enough for IC/MEMS which extend usually less than 0.1 meters. The productions of MEMS/IC is done in many layers. For each of these physical CAD layers a belonging layer had to exist in the drawing. Additional logical layers are required for describing/naming purpose. So a lot of layers are needed. By default the LayoutEditor is limited to 128 layers. But it can easily be adjusted, if more layers are required. IC Designs often contain a plenty of repeating structures. Essential for micro fabrication of these designs is therefor a hierarchical design. This means, that the complete repeating structure only exists once in a single cell. These cell is then referred multiple times in the main drawing.
Beside the above mems packaging mentioned IC design fundaments it is important to have sophisticated functions to handle all drawing elements. The layout handler has all required functions: all basic design functions, all angle elements, boolean operations, macros, fontgenerator, design rule checker, mems tools, supported format: GDSII, DXF, OASIS, CIF.
