Design Space Explorer skipping base compile when distributing to other machines

Hi,

Thanks for your answer and apologies in the delay in reply. Your advice to look at the errors in the qar files opened up quite a few doors for me to investigate. I should first say that I am using Qsys as the top level of my project. The errors I get are all relating to components not found from the top level qsys .vhd file. i.e.

Error: qsys_top.ResetContol: Component reset_contol 1.3 not found or could not be instantiated

I have compared the qsys.vhd file to a working, locally compiled project and the same files are there. The Qsys.vhd file is in the Synthesis folder in the top level qsys directory, and reset_control.vhd is in a submodule folder of this Synthesis folder. There are three other similar unfound components. All of which are my own custom Qsys components.

I should also mention that in the archived projects none of my original .vhd files are present. They exist in the Qsys folder, but not in their original locations. I'm not sure how this effects things as it is my understanding that Qsys creates copies of these files and it is these files that are used in compilation. But maybe this is why Quartus cant find the components? Any .vhd files generated by a mega wizard are present in the archived projects, only my own files are missing.

I have compiled another project using DSE across the same machines in my network at it works perfectly. So I have ruled out any general problems.

So I'm confident that my problem lies in unfound custom Qsys components.

Thanks again for your help
