*** Installation on Unix VDT is compiled under... - SunOS 5.5.1 sparc SUNW, Ultra-2 - Use GNU make 3.78.1 version. - Compile using GNU gcc/g++ 2.8.1 version. - For lexical analysis, GNU flex 2.5.4 version. - For grammar parsing, GNU bison 1.25 version. 1. First, decompress the gzipped tar files on $VDT home directory % mkdir $VDT % cd $VDT % gzip -d vdt-2.8.x.tar.gz % tar xvf vdt-2.8.x.tar 2. Set the UNIX environment variable VDT and include the path where all tools are installed. % csh % setenv VDT /the_path_of_$VDT/ % set path = ($path $VDT/bin) 3. The directory structure will have the following directories. $VDT/bin - where tools are installed. $VDT/doc - where manuals are placed. $VDT/etc/std - where VHDL standard library is installed. $VDT/etc/IEEE- where VHDL IEEE standard library is installed. $VDT/lib - where libraries are installed. $VDT/include - where header files are installed. $VDT/examples - where some testing examples are placed. You should analyze the std and IEEE libraries. Go to $VDT/etc/std and type as the following. % vans.bat If you want to use VHDL-87, type as below, instead. % vans-87.bat Go to $VDT/etc/IEEE and run the same named batch files. *** Installation on Linux VDT is compiled under... - Redhat 7.1 Pentium-III - Use GNU make 3.79.1 version. - Compile using GNU gcc/g++ 2.95.3 version. - For lexical analysis, GNU flex 2.5.4 version. - For grammar parsing, GNU bison 1.28 version. You can install the same way to UNIX. If you prefer bash, set the environment variable as follows % export VDT=/the_path_of_$VDT/ % export PATH=$VDT/bin:$PATH *** Installation on Win98 with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler VDT was ported from Unix to Win98 PC environment, compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler. To run executable programs and to use libraries, you should follow the procedure below. 1. First, decompress the zipped files on $VDT home directory 2. Set the environment variable VDT and include the path where all executable programs are installed. For a simple way, you can append the following code to "autoexec.bat" file. set VDT=c:\the_path_of_$VDT\ set PATH="%PATH%;%VDT%\bin;" 3. Confirm the existence of "vdt.rc" file in the directory "$VDT\etc". This file contains the directory mapping information for the elementary design libraries, such as STD, IEEE, SYNOPSYS, etc. You should analyze the std and IEEE libraries. Go to $VDT/etc/std and type as the following. > vans.bat If you want to use VHDL-87, type as below, instead. > vans-87.bat Go to $VDT/etc/IEEE and run the same named batch files. *** Please send problems and feedback to: Sanghun Park, Design Automation Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering, Seoul National University URL : http://poppy.snu.ac.kr/VDT E-mail : sanghun@azalea.snu.ac.kr Tel : +82-2-880-6768 Fax : +82-2-882-4656
