I'm wondering is whether there is a way to generate or not generate the jbc file based on an environment variable. Any ideas? I'd like to not create a jbc when I don't generate ALTPLL to speed simulation.

What started as a design workaround when I found that ALTPLL in Verilog was broken is also useful in simulation. I feed an external clock into the simulator and don't instantiate the PLL and it runs...

The easiest thing would be to not have the Assembler, which generates the file, run during a full compilation. In the Pro edition, you can click a checkbox in the Compilation Dashboard, but in the Lite edition, go to Project menu -> Settings -> Compilation Process Settings and turn off "Run Assembler during compilation."

When you do need to generate the file, just run the Assembler manually from Processing menu -> Start -> Start Assembler.
