mesage of error from aoc: Error: Can't change into dir:

Hi:

I'm starting using this tool from quartus II 13.0 (SDK)... I've instaled the software just like the "getting started" said... and when I wrote "where aoc" it answer me the right "path".... here is my problem: When i wrote "aoc -c moving_average.cl" its give me "Error: Can't change into dir:"...

I think the problem is it can't generate the directory for the quartus projet?? but why?

Thanks!!

    Ensure that the project directory name does not contain spaces or other special characters in the path and also ensure the directory is writable.

    Try passing in the '-v' flag when you call aoc to see if you get more debug messaging back. The message you are seeing seems to be caused by the working directory not being set but I'm not sure why that is happening in your case. I ran a similar test on my E: drive and didn't see this issue.

    I wonder if this might be some language localization setting. The language seen in the screenshot seems to be Spanish, and I know there have been issues before with non-English language settings.

    Hi, like SWIZZLE said, the problem was the language configuration. I installed window 7 in english in a virtual machine and it works. However there is no a time to trial the software like quartus has, so i can't make the lab practice.... Thanks for your help!

    Which localization setting were you using that caused this issue? I assume Spanish (Argentina)
