Problem Title:
M1.4,Powerview 6: vanlibcreate gives linker error compiling Logiblox
VHDL library



Problem Description:
Keywords: LogiBLOX, vanlibcreate, libucb, VHDL, viewdraw, powerview, HP, Solaris


Urgency: Standard

General Description:
If the following steps are taken while creating an M1 design with Powerview:

1) From ViewDraw, select 'Add->Logiblox'.  The LogiBLOX GUI 'Setup' window
   opens.

2) In the 'Options' tab in 'Setup' window, select only 'Behavioral VHDL
   netlist'.  Click on "OK".

3) In the LogiBLOX GUI main window, select any valid module configuration and
   start the generation of VHDL model by clicking on "OK" button.

Viewdraw returns with a linker error during running of 'vanlibcreate' on
the LogiBLOX library.

On Solaris, it says:
ld.so.1: vanlibcreate: fatal: libucb.so.1: can't open file: errno=2 Killed

On HP_UX 10.20, it says:
/bin/ld: DP relative code in file <path_to_project>/logiblox.lib/mvlarith.
pdr/vantage.o - shared library must be position independent.
Use +z or +Z to recompile.


Solution 1:

When analyzing LogiBLOX VHDL models using Viewlogic on the Solaris platform
add /usr/ucblib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.



Solution 2:

The reason for the HP failure is that the Powerview VHDL analyzer requires
the "unbundled" version of the HP-UX C compiler.  HP machines with the "unbundle
d" version usually have /bin/cc linked to /usr/ccs/bin/cc which is
the "bundled" version.
