Bobby R. Bruce c4d61ca143 tests: Add '--duplicate-sources' to libgem5 SST build

Unfortunately the building of SST (in "ext/sst") depends on generated
header files. Therefore it adds the build directory to the include path.
For this to work the libgem5.so must be build with
"--duplicate-sources".

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 --duplicate-sources

Note: --without-tcmalloc is required to avoid a conflict with SST's malloc. --duplicate-sources is required as the compilation of SST depends on sources to be present in the "build" directory.
