"make export-tools" fails with "Unable to find image 'yosys:latest' locally"

[RTimothyEdwards]

I got partway into the build, and seem to have successfully done "make build-tools" (which kept throwing errors that look like maybe a non-zero exit status indicating a successful exit, but that's for another issue). However, "make export-tools" fails immediately with:

mkdir -p export rm -rf export/yosys.tar.gz id=$(docker create yosys) ;
docker cp $id:\build.tar.gz export/yosys.tar.gz ;
docker rm -v $id Unable to find image 'yosys:latest' locally Error response from daemon: pull access denied for yosys, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login' must specify at least one container source "docker rm" requires at least 1 argument. See 'docker rm --help'.

Usage: docker rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

Remove one or more containers

I am a novice with docker (just used it successfully for the first time a few days ago), and I do not know how to debug this. I do know that 'docker login' should not be the problem because I was successfully logged in.

Any ideas?

Hi Tim,

Happy to have testers on our platform. We have integrated several tools from different teams and are still working on integrating them more tightly - hence the dockerized build process. We currently advise the use of pre-compiled binaries that are available on the repo release and are validated on Redhat/CentOS 6/7.

My guess is that docker create yosys failed in some way? It looks like $id didn't get a value...

I am trying to build on a Debian system (specifically PureOS). Not sure how well the RedHat precompiled build is going to work. The prerequisites of Tcl/Tk 8.5, libreadline 6, and libffi 5 are quite out-of-date (I have Tcl/Tk 8.6, libreadline 7, and libffi 6). I will give it a try.

We have added "runtime" docker images with the tools pre-installed. We will try to update this alongside the tool exports. in the long term, we are still looking to make improve the build.
