Dear all,
I am new to the EDK and just trying out my first project. I am running EDK 8.2i on Windows XP . I already have an install of cygwin and would prefer to use that rather than the one bundled with the EDK.
If I do Hardware->Generate Netlist I get a parse error on the makefile, caused by the line XILINX_EDK_DIR = C:/EDK_82 in system_incl.make. The standard cygwin version of make does not handle the colon in this path. If I substitute XILINX_EDK_DIR = C\:/EDK_82 or XILINX_EDK_DIR = /cygdrive/c/EDK_82 and run the make from the command line it is fine. Unfortunately this file is created by the Platform Studio GUI every time the Generate Netlist command is executed and my modification is overwritten.
If I hide my cygwin installation so the Platform Studio uses the bundled install this problem does not occur, but there is a problem later on (when parsing the UCF) that I do not get when running it from the command line. Even if this did work, I really want to use my install of cygwin, as I use it for a great deal more than Platform Studio.
I have searched the Xilinx answers and google groups but can't see anything, it could be that I'm just not using the magic words. Any help greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Peter
