SOPC builder command line

The ultimate goal is to have a script(makefile) that download my project from a versioning sytem (svn) and then builds the complete project including all code generation.

My findings for Q10.1:

There is some progress: when issuing the command :

sopc_builder --generate --nosplash

It will build your system both in windows(cygwin) and linux (ubuntu). However... apparently there are still components that need a display to connect to. This means you can still not generate everything on a headless system. The pcie generator throws a 'headless exeption' because it relies on some java awt libraries. I hope this will get cleaned up in one of the next versions.

In the mean time you could start a (virtual) x server:

export display=:1

xvfb :1&

Does anyone have a better solution?
