Giacomo Travaglini 7f2079f662 ext: Avoid content duplication in gem5-SST docs

A brief guide on how to run the gem5 SST example scripts
is already provided in the README file, so there is no need
to copy-paste it in the INSTALL file, which should cover
the building phase only.

Raw Blame History

Installing SST

The links to download SST source code are available here [http://sst-simulator.org/SSTPages/SSTMainDownloads/]. This guide is using the most recent SST version (11.0.0) as of September 2021. The following guide assumes $SST_CORE_HOME as the location where SST will be installed.

SST-Core

Downloading the SST-Core Source Code

wget https://github.com/sstsimulator/sst-core/releases/download/v11.1.0_Final/sstcore-11.1.0.tar.gz
tar xf sstcore-11.1.0.tar.gz

Installing SST-Core

cd sstcore-11.1.0
./configure --prefix=$SST_CORE_HOME --with-python=/usr/bin/python3-config \
            --disable-mpi # optional, used when MPI is not available.
make all -j$(nproc)
make install

Update PATH,

export PATH=$SST_CORE_HOME/bin:$PATH

SST-Elements

Downloading the SST-Elements Source Code

wget https://github.com/sstsimulator/sst-elements/releases/download/v11.1.0_Final/sstelements-11.1.0.tar.gz
tar xf sstelements-11.1.0.tar.gz

Installing SST-Elements

cd sst-elements-library-11.1.0
./configure --prefix=$SST_CORE_HOME --with-python=/usr/bin/python3-config \
            --with-sst-core=$SST_CORE_HOME
make all -j$(nproc)
make install

Adding PKG_CONFIG_PATH to .bashrc (so pkg-config can find SST .pc file),

echo "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$SST_CORE_HOME/lib/pkgconfig/" >> ~/.bashrc

Building gem5 library

At the root of gem5 folder,

scons build/RISCV/libgem5_opt.so -j $(nproc) --without-tcmalloc
