    Hi Aik

    Thanks for your time and the attempts to help me.
    Finally I found out what the problem is and it is going in a completely different direction than you tried to help. Unfortunately I must say the Intel documentation for the HLS compiler has a lot of room for improvement!

    The problem on my side was at different locations:

    1. I had to install the latest Quartus version. I was not able to get it run with Quartus 18.1 which I am currently using.
    2. I had to download the latest HLS compiler 21.4. The one which comes with Quartus 18.1 does not work on my computer. I was still not able to correctly run the init_hls.bat file.
    3. I was using Windows Power Shell as the command prompt, but this is not working. You need to use the normal command prompt to get it run.

    However, in the end the following link helped me a lot to solve the problem:

Hi Aik

Thanks for your reply!

During my research of what could go wrong I already came across the link you have posted. In regards of the required tools I have already everything installed and setup. Depending on this it should already work, but it does not. I don't know how the HLS compiler knows which C++ compiler should be taken. I guess this is somewhere configured in the Quartus installation.

Another thing I saw is that on the link you have posted, they use a special HLS command prompt from Visual Studio 2017.

Do you know where I can start it from?
