Honored Contributorhello
i am a beginner in modelsim i want to use relative path in do file but it doesn't work my os is windows xp my relative path is : vcom -work Work_Project ../../SRC/A_Interface.vhd error: Failed to open design unit file "../../SRC/A_Interface.vhd" in read mode. how can i do this? thanks alot.
Honored ContributorThe path is relative to Modelsim's current working path, not the script itself. Check what path it is currently running in.
Honored Contributoryou can type commands into the modelsim command line, and they mostly match linux command. Use "pwd" to see where the current modelsim directory is.
Honored Contributorthanks for your answer
according to your answer, i tried to get absolute path of my script by using "file dirname" command but it give me relative path. i want to able my script to work on any machine. so i need to inform absolute path of script. please help me what i suppose to do. thanks alot.Honored Contributorto change the drive, you type:
cd c: to change directory cd /directoryA/directoryB the first slash essentially means "root" and on windows that means whatever drive you're currently on.Honored ContributorHonored Contributoryou cant (afaik) - you need to change directory to where the .do file is located.
Honored Contributoreasiest thing to do is have a "cd /proper_directory" as the first line in the .do file.
Honored ContributorHere, try these two scripts:
# test1.do# # Example to show relative sourcing of scripts.
# Path to this script
set path ]]
puts "Hello from test1"
source $path/test2.do
# test2.do
puts "Hello from test2"
Modelsim> source c:/temp/test1.do# Hello from test1# Hello from test2
