17 years ago --- Quote Start --- Calling individual parts of the compile such as quartus_map, quartus_fit, etc. does not utilize smart compilation. Run "quartus_sh --qhelp" and look at the quartus_sh stuff. --- Quote End --- I'm not calling any of these. I'm using post_module_script_file (http://www.altera.com/support/examples/tcl/auto_processing.html) to do a rename in tcl at the end of the assembly phase. I start compilation from the GUI as usual. What I mean is, is smart compilation automatically disabled as soon as you start using the triggers. I can think of reasons why Altera would decide to always do full compilation when tcl scripts are involved, because there is no way to tell what a tcl script does for each phase and if it has to be rerun. On the other hand in my case it is just annoying and not at all useful.
