NGD2VER/NGD2VHDL: ERROR:NetListWriters:61 - XILINX environment variable is not set.


Record #7435

Product Family: Software

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: ngd2ver

Product Version: 2.1i

Problem Title:
NGD2VER/NGD2VHDL: ERROR:NetListWriters:61 - XILINX environment variable is not set.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Ngd2ver/Ngd2vhdl issues the following error:

ERROR:NetListWriters:61 - XILINX environment variable is not set.



Solution 1:

Check the XILINX environment variable.

On a PC, at the DOS prompt type:

echo %XILINX%

On UNIX, at the prompt type:

echo $XILINX

Make sure the environment variable is set and mapped to
a valid directory.



Solution 2:

If the XILINX environment variable is set to be <drive>:\ on PC, the ending '\' was
truncated when it was retrieved and failed in the subsequent directory check in ngd2ver/ngd2vhdl.

XILINX = X:\
PATH = %XILINX%bin\nt;%PATH%

The workaround is to set (or map) the XILINX path to be <drive.:\some_path,
instead of <drive>:\ (no path followed by the drive).
