From: Rob Gaddi on 9 Sep 2009 17:38 I was just starting to try to do some playing with TCL, and ran into an interesting problem. If you're running bash through Cygwin: A) Trying to run xtclsh just hangs entirely, forcing you to kill the process. B) The built-in Cygwin tclsh seems to work fine, but when you try to execute the line >> source $env(XILINX)/bin/xilinx-init.tcl << you get the response "The XILINX environment variable is not set or is empty." with XILINX set to either C:/Xilinx/11.1/ISE or to /cygdrive/c/Xilinx/11.1/ISE. xtclsh runs fine when executed under the normal Windows XP cmd shell, but if I've got to sit around hopping back and forth between shells its going to make for a very complicated build process. I figured CAF was about the only place where someone might know about working with TCL scripts for Xilinx designs under Cygwin. So...anyone?

Could be your version of windows or cygwin. Under Vista 64 SP2 and cygwin 1.5.25-15 everything above works. -- Muzaffer Kal DSPIA INC. ASIC/FPGA Design Services http://www.dspia.com
