Design Space Explorer skipping base compile when distributing to other machines

Thank you, this does seem to be the problem. I hadnt added several files to the project. Adding them solved most of my errors.

There is one last file that I'm still struggling to get included in the .qar archives. In my Qsys top level I have a hierarchy with another qsys file included as a component. This is the last file that I cannot get into the .qar.

pcie_qsys.qsys and pcie_qsys_hw.tcl are not available in the archived projects. Adding the .tcl to the original project doesnt help and adding the .qsys causes errors relating to "device family"(Stratix V) out of range. The device family is correctly assigned as Cyclone V in both .qsys files as well as the project file.

Thanks again for any light you can shed
