Title: ahdl_include filePath
Post by spinfab on May 6^th, 2013, 2:42am

Hello,

In a spectre netlist, I would like to use
ahdl_include "absolutepath/file.va"
but instead using an absolute path, I would prefer to use an shell env variable.

Is somone know how to proceed with virtuoso-ADE?

Regards,

Fab

I don't think you can do it, where absolutepath is substituted inside a quoted string; most macro replacement does not apply inside quotes strings.

You might be able to
ahdl_include MYFILENAME
where MYFILENAME is defined somehow as "absolutepath/file.va"

The other possibility might be to
ahdl_include "file.va"
and have the search path set by the shell env variable.

Would either approach work for your situation?

Thanks geoffrey for your advise.
nevertheless, what should be the env variable
have the search path set by the shell env variable.
