Is there a way to specify a library name in Incisive using command line interface?

Question

In Modelsim I can specify a library name to be used, for example:

vlib MyPersonalLib
vcom -work MyPersonalLib foo.vhd
vsim MyPersonalLib.foo

Is there a way to do this in incisive without manipulating the hdl.var or cds.lib files?. Using -work for NCVHDL requires some prior setup of this files (ie: I get the error "logical library name WORK is bound to a bad library")

Answer 1

you need to at least create the file - cds.lib. In the cds.lib you define the mapping of the work name to a physical directory. The directory must be created before the ncvlog is invoked.

#cds.lib
DEFINE MyPersonalLib ./MyPersonalLib

then you can run with the work library from command prompt.

mkdir  ./MyPersonalLib

ncvlog your_file.v  -work MyPersonalLib -sv 

You will get a warning message ( if you have not created a hdl.var file) . *W,DLNOHV: Unable to find an 'hdl.var' file to load in. You can ignore it or use -NOWARN DLNOHV to suppress it.
