Issues during the installation of PULP-SDK on empty OS

[dnadalini]

Dear all,

I tried to install the new version of the PULP-SDK, however errors occur during the installation ("main" branch). First of all, the gvsoc folder misses the files. I fixed with:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Second, Python misses the "prettytable" module. I fixed with

pip install prettytable

However, when I launch the "make build", an error occures:

I'm using GCC 9.4.0.

I solved by editing the "CMakeList.txt" file in "pulp-sdk/" folder in this way:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16.3)
set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-lstdc++fs -std=c++17")

project(sdk)

if(NOT DEFINED CONFIG_PULP_SDK_HOME)
message(STATUS "Using current directory as GAP SDK Home")
set(CONFIG_PULP_SDK_HOME ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
endif()

# Use CCache to speed up compilation if possible
find_program(CCACHE_FOUND ccache)
if(CCACHE_FOUND)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER ccache)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER ccache)
endif()

add_subdirectory(tools/gvsoc/common)

## Install pip requirements, note: does not install nntool reqs as building
## will do that
add_custom_target(
pip_install
COMMENT "install pip deps from requirements"
COMMAND pip install --user -r ${CONFIG_PULP_SDK_HOME}/requirements.txt
COMMAND pip install --user -r ${CONFIG_PULP_SDK_HOME}/tools/gapy_v2/requirements.txt
COMMAND pip install --user -r ${CONFIG_PULP_SDK_HOME}/tools/plptest/requirements.txt
)

It seems the problem is generated since a too old version of g++ is called (<14.0).
