BUILD Error: Undefined reference to pad::pad_tcl_inits etc.

Hi, OpenRoad experts,

When i try to build OpenROAD, I met with some problems as following:

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks a lot!

It seems like the swig generated code isn't being linked correctly. Have you run the dependency installer? On what platform are you building? What version of swig do you have?

@maliberty Thanks, Matt. Although I don't know why it compiles successfully again, this issue had already been solved. :)
