Problem Title:
A1.4/F1.4 - Installation of Software Updates.


Problem Description:
The following instuctions decribe how to install
a typical Xilinx Software Update for A1.4/F1.4 tools.

For a comprehensive list of A1.4/F1.4 Software Updates,
see http://www.xilinx.com/techdocs/3532.htm


Solution 1:

Workstations:

  To install into the existing M1.4 area:

  cd $XILINX
  uncompress patch_file.tar.Z
  tar xvf patch_file.tar

  To install into a seperate patch area using the
  MYXILINX variable:

  If a $MYXILINX directory does not already exist, create
  a new directory. Set the MYXILINX variable to this new
  directory. Shared libraries and data files in this area
  will be used instead of the corresponding files in $XILINX.

  setenv MYXILINX /path/to/patch/install/dir
  cd $MYXILINX
  uncompress <patch file>.tar.Z
  tar xvf <patch file>.tar
  setenv  PATH $MYXILINX/bin/sol:${PATH}
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $MYXILINX/bin/sol:$XILINX/bin/sol:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

  NOTE: For SunOS 4.X and HP machines, substitute "sun" and "hp" for "sol"
  where appropriate. For HP machines, substitue "SHLIB_PATH" for "LD_LIBRARY_PAT
H"

  To back out the patch, change the PATH and  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  variables to their original value and run "unsetenv  MYXILINX".

  For more information on using the MYXILINX area see:
  http://www.xilinx.com/techdocs/2493.htm

PCs:

  Use winzip to extract the patch data into the directory
  where M1.4 is installed. Usually this will be C:\XILINX.
  The following options should be selected:

  - All Files
  - Overwrite Existing File
  - Use Folder Names

  There is no need to restart the machine after installation.
