Cannot run HLS Compile example "counter"

Hi,

I've got a similar error like here:

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00003yyTceSAE/intel-hls-can-not-generate-execution-file?

I tried to run the example "counter":

cd C:\intelFPGA_pro\18.1\hls

init_hls.bat (->The i++ compiler is now available at 'C:\intelFPGA_pro\18.1\hls\bin\' (through your %Path%))

cd C:\intelFPGA_pro\18.1\hls\examples\counter

build.bat test-x86-64

i++  -march=x86-64 counter.cpp -o test-x86-64.exe
c:/program files (x86)/microsoft visual studio 14.0/vc/bin/link.exe : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x320
HLS Link x86-64 FAILED.
Run test-x86-64.exe to execute the test.

Any suggestions on how to solve that problem?

I'm using:

Quartus Prime 18.1.0 Patch 0.04

VS 2015 Update 3

Win 10 64Bit

    My guess is something to do with the setup. Just to have a fast confirmation 1) Are you following the HLS starting guide guide ? did you run the init_hls.bat first? User need to run this *.bat before any compilation as it will setup the environment. 2) Did you installed the VS 2010? when you manually go to the path c:/program files (x86)/microsoft visual studio 10.0/vc/bin/link.exe , did you see the link.exe file is present? 3) This error is saying user is adding a 32 bit link file for usage which is incorrect, HLS have to use the 64 bit link file. \VC\bin\amd64\link.exe

      Hi,

      and thank you for your answer.

      1) I followed the HLS starting guide and ran the init_hls.bat.

      2) I'm using Quartus Prime Pro 18.1 with patch 0.04. That is why I installed VS 2015. File C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\link.exe is present.

      3) File C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\link.exe is also present. I changed my PATH variable to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\ and rebooted (!).

      Problem is solved, but was followed by the linker not possible to find 'msvcprt.lib'. I had to set the include and lib path:

      Set INCLUDE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include;C:\intelFPGA_pro\18.1\hls\include;"
 
Set LIB="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib;"

      Now the problem is:

      In file included from counter.cpp:1:
C:/intelFPGA_pro/18.1/hls/include\HLS/hls.h:16:10: fatal error: 'type_traits' file not found
#include <type_traits>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
HLS x86-64 compile FAILED.
Run test-x86-64.exe to execute the test.

    I am trying to reproduce the error but not able to do it so far. Can you please try opening the terminal 'x64 Native Tools Command Prompt' command window available in the Microsoft Visual Studio installation.

    Then run init_hls.bat in that window.

    And then try running counter example build.bat.

      Same problem.

      C:/intelFPGA_pro/18.1/hls/include\HLS/hls.h:16:10: fatal error: 'type_traits' file not found

      If I copy the "type_traits" file to "examples/counter" it can be found. Next problem is, that it cannot find the "xstddef" file. Looks like the linker cannot find files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include".

        -- adding this comment again with images attached.

        i am able to reproduce the issue. See the attached image which shows same error of LNK1107. This is because you are not using the command prompt i suggested. This leads to not recoginizing the correct visual studio libraries. see the blue encircled name of the command window.

        Use below window instead. You can see that all works greats with no issues.
