Before the official instructions got cleaned up, this was my own flattened version of the isabelle setup instructions. Now that they are a lot easier to use, I will refer to the official L4V setup.md for the bulk of the setup instructions, with only a few notes remaining here.
We are going to install repo to ~/.local/bin, so first we need to set up that directory and add it to PATH.
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
We also want this to be added to PATH for all future terminal sessions, so add export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH to ~/.bashrc (a file which you may have to create).
In the past I had some issues with the apt version of repo. If that's the case, you can install it manually as below.
sudo apt install curl
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.local/bin/repo
chmod a+rx ~/.local/bin/repo
repo
If the last command results in error: repo is not installed. Use "repo init" to install it here then everything worked as it should.
The launch command that I found most useful for my particular work was the following, which I put in an executable isabelle.sh in my user directory. This runs everything under the RISCV64 architecture.
If you want to work on, for example, InfoFlow, you can launch with every image leading up to InfoFlow by using -R InfoFlow (as opposed to -l InfoFlow, which would start from the completed InfoFlow image).
L4V_ARCH=RISCV64 ~/repos/verification/isabelle/bin/isabelle jedit -d ~/repos/verification/l4v -l Lib&
I use the following command to build images.
The _QUICK_AND_DIRTY flags are only needed if you're building (or relying upon) images with sorries in them.
The -j 7 defines the number of cores to be used for the build (I use one less than my machine's total)
Obviously you want to change L4V_ARCH to whatever architecture you're building for.
L4V_ARCH=RISCV64 AINVS_QUICK_AND_DIRTY=true ACCESS_QUICK_AND_DIRTY=true INFOFLOW_QUICK_AND_DIRTY=true make InfoFlow -j 7
I prefer a dark theme for most things, but jEdit+Isabelle doesn't allow this option. I've found some colours I'm happy with, which you can set up if you like. There's no easy import/export for these colours, so you'll need to edit two config files manually. Make these edits while jEdit isn't running, because some settings are saved on close, which will overwrite any changes you made. You'll need to restart Isabelle/jEdit for the changes to take effect anyway.
General jEdit settings are found in the ~/.isabelle/jedit/properties file. Below are the lines that I add to set up my colours (there might be some unnecessary stuff in here, I'm still working on paring this down).
