I get the following error during HDL synthesis:

No wonder... there is no DesktopBatsFeedServiceFPGABatsFeedServiceFPGA_sw.c anywhere on my system... Now, there is a \Desktop\BATSFeedServiceFPGA\BATSFeedServiceFPGA_sw.c... Somehow the slashes are being lost, but as the file is listed under software, the slashes are there.

Hi Jonathan,

Please use UNIX-style directory separators: '/'. If you enter such paths directly in the Project Options dialog's Build tab, all should be well.

Okay, I had it working for a while, and I have no idea why this started happening, but I'm getting a lot of warnings about cannot make \tmp, and worse, I'm getting an error at the end that I can't make heads or tails of why it's occurring (the chmod one):

Hi Johnathan, you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem. Thanks.

[etrexel]

Hi,
The fix at that time was to ensure that a "Hardware build directory" was defined in the project under Project->Options, Generate tab.

Best Regards,
Ed
