Problem Title:
M1.3.7, M1.4, & XSI 5.2.1 Libraries Analyzed for Synopsys 3.3b(XACT XSI
only), 3.4a(XACT XSI only), 3.4b, 3.5a,1997.01, and 1997.08



Problem Description:
Keywords: designware, vss, synopsys, analyzed, compiled

Urgency: Standard

the Synopsys DesignWare and/or VSS Simulation libraries and the
instructions were followed from (Xilinx Soltuion 1189), these
libraries may be downloaded from the Xilinx FTP site.  It is
suggested that an attempt first be made to analyze the libraries
on your system before downloading these libraries because a
problem with analyzing the libraries may indicate problems with
the software installation.  These libraries may also be quite
large and take some time to download.

Note:  These are just the analyzed DesignWare(XDW/XBLOX) and VSS Simulation
libraries(XSI 5.2.1 only) and by no means replace the installation of the
Xilinx-Synopsys interface (XSI).  XSI still needs to be installed
on the system to obtain the synthesis libraries and other interface
software.


Solution 1:

(XACT 5.2.1 users see resolution 2)

For M1 Users:
============

The following files contain only the DesignWare libraries for the
various versions of Synopsys supported by M1 (3.4b and greater).
The VSS simulation libraries are dependent on the version of Synopsys
you are using as well as the Operating System you are using so they
may not be easily provided.

To install the libraries:

1.  Download the appropriate library.

2.  Copy/Move the file to the $XILINX directory (where the M1 software
    is installed):

    cp <file>.tar.Z $XILINX

3.  Uncompress and untar the file:

    uncompress <file>.tar.Z
    tar -xf <file>.tar

4.  The files should now be installed in their proper directories.
    Please see the included README file for details.
