Is anyone else having problems with the ISE service pack 4 installer crashing on Linux (any flavour)? SP2 worked all right for me, but it seems they broke something in SP4. Anyways, to work around this, I wrote a ten line shell script to replace Xilinx's setup program. Sorry it doesn't display any marketing propaganda while installing.
cheers, aaron
#!/bin/sh -x # # replace Xilinx's 'setup' with file and set the XILINX variable appropriately #
XILINX= some path to install to
install (){ if [ ! -x `dirname $2` ]; then mkdir -p `dirname $2`; fi cp -f $1 $2 }
for i in `cat idata/add.mnf`; do install add/$i $XILINX/$i done
for i in `cat idata/replace.mnf`; do install replace/$i $XILINX/$i done
