Marcus, you were right - I did install the Xilinx ISE being root.
However, when I tried to run the same command being root, the bash did
not find the xtclsh.
The next thing I did is to include the xtclsh into the PATH in
.bashrc, but for root this time, and tried to build it as root. And
... VOILA!
Doing anything other than *what is absolutely necessary* as *root* is a
bad idea. Poor form. Entirely-ordinary things like compiling code
should always be done as a regular user. Learn to use and understand
Unix ownership/permissions rules, so you don't end up in silly
situations like this again.
I got built a .xise roject and .bin file.
However, I am not sure if I point properly to the floating license on
the uni's server, but since it built, I guess it is ok.
HOWEVER, when testing this, by building the same fpga image which is
downloaded to usr/local/share/uhd/images/ by the Marcus's
build-gnuradio-script,
I FIND THAT THE TWO FPGA IMAGES ARE DIFFERENT.
WHAT CAN BE THE REASONS THAT TWO FPGA IMAGES ARE DIFFERENT IF ONE IS
USING THE SAME MAKEFILE?
Different versions of the toolchain? Also, do the Xilinx tools do any
random stuff--I'm not an expert in FPGA LUT generation, but I understand
that sometimes, when there are two equally-good "choices" to be made
in generating the LUTs, the toolchain simply picks randomly from
among the choices. I have no idea if this is the case here.
