Compiling library problem in Xilinx ISE4.0?

[Lee]

I have read the solution #2561 about how to compile librarie for
modelsim. I download the tcl script file, but I don't know how to use
it. Can anybody tell me?Thanks

 

[Jim Wu]

Read the readme.txt file that comes with the script!

Thank Jim Wu first.

I am not a system administrator. The system administrator for our
system is not nice. So before I ask her, I want to make sure
everything and I only want to talk with her once (not many times):-(

The readme.txt is as follows,

This zip file contains the design files for the ISE 4 Indepth
tutorial.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation instructions
--------------------------
Unzip the file into the $XILINX install directory.

Documentation
-------------
Refer to the ISE 4 indepth tutorial available at:

Just unzip it?That is enough? Do I need to do specific things to
compile the library?Or this tcl file can compile the library online
when ModelSim is started?

So far, only verilog files are on the library directory of Xilinx of
our system. ModelSim required "_info" file and some directories for
these verilog files. Is everything is done by that TCL file
automatically or I should compile it first?Thank a lot.

Just downloaded the zip file xilinx_lib_4.zip from solution 2561 from:

http://support.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_ans_display.jsp?iLanguageID=1&iCountryID=1&getPagePath=2561

And the readme.txt is as followed:

README FOR XILINX LIBRARIES AID FOR MODELSIM

Tcl script to install and compile Xilinx 3.x/4.x HDL (Verilog/VHDL)
libraries using Modelsim 5.4x/5.5x SE/PE simulators

NOTE: Tested with 5.5c SE

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:

FOR EE:

Use the "source" command from the ModelSim prompt to load that Tcl/Tk
code. At the Modelsim prompt, type
MODELSIM> source <path_to_script>/xilinx_lib.tcl

FOR PE:

Set the enviroment variable MODELSIM_TCL to the name of the script prior
to invoking ModelSim. [Note: MODELSIM_TCL can be a ":" separated list of
Tcl/Tk files to load].

MODELSIM_TCL <path_to_script>/xilinx_lib.tcl

Where <path_to_script> is the pathname for the directory to where the
script was saved.

FOR MXE:

Not to be used with MXE. The HDL libraries come precompiled for MXE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
USE:
The "Xilinx Libraries Aid" window will pop up. Enter the following
information:

- Select the language whose libraries need to be compiled.

- Select the version of the Xilinx software installed on the
computer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An incorrect selection of "Xilinx Software
Version" will lead to errors during the installation of the libraries.

- Select which libraries need to be compiled.

- Enter the "Install Path" where the compiled libraries will be
saved.

- Enter the path to the Xilinx software on the machine. (eg.
C:\fndtn or D:\xilinx)

- Once all the information has been entered, press the "Compile"
button to compile the desired libraries.


DISCLAIMER: This is a tactical script created for the sole purpose
of easing the compilation of Xilinx libraries for Modelsim.
