|
|
The make flow for building test benches (ghdl and ISim based) and systems
|
|
(Xilinx xst based) as well as the support software (mainly the rlink backend
|
|
server) requires
|
|

The build system for test benches and systems requires

4. Compile and install the support software -------------------------------
|
|
|
|
4a. Compile sharable libraries ---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To build all sharable libraries
|
|
|
|
cd $RETROBASE/tools/src
|
|
make -j 4
|
|
|
|
To cleanup, e.g. before a re-build
|
|
|
|
cd $RETROBASE/tools/src
|
|
rm_dep
|
|
make realclean
|
|
|
|
4b. Setup Tcl environment --------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Tcl files are organized in several packages. To create the Tcl
|
|
package files (pkgIndex.tcl)
|
|
|
|
cd $RETROBASE/tools/tcl
|
|
setup_packages
|
|
|
|
To use these packages it is convenient to make them available via the
|
|
'auto_path' mechanism. To do that add in your .tclshrc or .wishrc
|
|
|
|
lappend auto_path [file join $env(RETROBASE) tools tcl]
|
|
lappend auto_path [file join $env(RETROBASE) tools lib]
|
|
|
|
The w11 distribution contains two ready to use .tclshrc or .wishrc
|
|
files which
|
|
- include the auto_path statements above
|
|
- activate tclreadline (and thus in tclshrc an event loop)
|
|
|
|
To use them simply copy them into your home directory (or soft link them)
|
|
|
|
cd $HOME
|
|
ln -s $RETROBASE/tools/tcl/.tclshrc .
|
|
ln -s $RETROBASE/tools/tcl/.wishrc .
