Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  Cadence

Problem Title:
CADENCE VERILOG-XL: Cannot run SDF Annotate, SDF libraries have not
beenlinked in.



Problem Description:
Keywords:  verilog-xl, sdf annotate libraries link

Urgency: standard

General Description:
Verilog-XL complains that it cannot run SDF Annotate because
SDF libraries have not been linked in.


CAUSE:	The SDF Annotator was not been linked to Verilog-XL
when the Verilog executable was configured by your system
administrator



Solution 1:

This error message indicates that the Verilog-XL executable
was not configured properly when it was installed.  The
"verilog" executable must be reconfigured using the Cadence
"vconfig" utility.  The actual reconfiguration process
must be done by someone with Cadence system administration
(cdsmgr) privileges on your system.

The vconfig utility is located under the Cadence install directory in

   <install_directory>tools/verilog/bin

When running vconfig, you will be asked the following question:

	Do you want to include the Standard Delay File
	Annotator in this Verilog-XL executable ?
	<Enter y/n/CR> [y] :

Reply "yes" to specify that the script that vconfig will
generate should link in the SDF libraries:
