========================================================================= ERROR:Xst:2683 - Unexpected error found while building hierarchy.
--
This happens both with the synthesis test from the website above and
with my own trivial example (attached at the end of the post). You can
get the complete test project from
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/25445/fixpt-test.zip.
Has anyone found a workaround to use fixed_pkg with ISE?
Thanks,
Andreas

thanks for the free publicity, but please DON'T use it... there are a few rather significant bugs with signed arithmetic, and it's not as complete as the IEEE packages.
I wish I had worked more closely with David Bishop on this, because I believe my (Doulos) package has a few features that are worth having; but it's far too late now, the IEEE package is far better developed, and it has a test suite - something I should have done in the first place, but never had time to do.
I PROMISE to take the packages down from our website before the end of the week, and instead leave a pointer to the IEEE set!
cheers

Regardless, I got this error while synthesizing a Verilog project. The problem was that I adopted a project from ISE 7.1.04. After starting a fresh project on ISE 9.2, handpicking the HDL files and UCFs (and so on) the synthesis went smoothly.
I installed the ISE service pack 2, and the error message became more specific: ERROR:Xst:2744 - "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/A/Eigene Dateien/FPGA/ fixpt-test/vhdl200x/fixed_pkg_c.vhdl" line 1026: alias of a function is not supported. ERROR:Xst:2683 - Unexpected error found while building hierarchy.
So I commented out the function aliases cleaned up the project files (otherwise I would get "ERROR:HDLParsers:333 - Binary file "xst/ ieee_proposed/sub00/vhpl02" is corrupted. Recompile unit fixed_pkg.fixed_pkg."), and everything compiles just fine.
Only division does not work: ERROR:Xst:769 - "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/A/Eigene Dateien/FPGA/ fixpt-test/vhdl200x/fixed_pkg_c.vhdl" line 2599: Operator must have constant operands or first operand must be power of 2
