Problem Title:
XABEL: abl2edif.exe failed <abel_file_name>.EDN was not created. Error report not available


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Upon synthesizing ABEL code within the HDL editor, the following error is
encountered:

abl2edif.exe failed. <abel_file_name>.EDN was not created. Error report not
available. See synthesis -> View Report for details.

When one looks in the report, no error messages are provided.


Solution 1:

This is usually a problem with the Windows PATH variable.
Make sure that the PATH variable is set to the exact location of abl2edif.exe.

For example, in Windows 95, this might be:

SET PATH = c:\Xilinx\bin\nt
or
SET PATH = d:\fndtn\bin\nt;%PATH%

In addition, make sure that appropriate separators are used between different
elements of the path statement.

For example:
SET PATH = c:\Xilinx\bin\nt;c:\winnt\system32;c:\other\path
(make sure the ";" is included).
