Re: gEDA-user: Icarus Verilog vvp32 on 64bit systems

In particular, there is support in the Icarus Verilog source for building simultaneously a vvp (64bit) and a vvp32 (32bit) to support 32bit VPI's transported from 32bit systems. I personally have never used the vvp32 and I'm starting to run into cases where it is actively getting in the way. I'm considering removing the whole business and forgetting about it, although there may be alternatives. Comments? I am not using vvp32, but I am also not a heavy user of the PLI. However, I did try to build openSUSE RPM's from the latest development snapshot and ran into problems related to vvp32, I did not have before. For openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 the build failed with some vvp32 errors. I haven't taken the time yet to look at them closer. So from the build point of view, taking out vvp32 would simplify matters. However, the build is not a purpose for itself. If there are people using vvp32, those should off course given priority over my troubles figuring out the build for vvp32.

So far I have a handful of reasons to drop it, and no reasons to keep it. It's starting to look like a rout. -- Steve WilliamsThe woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Not purists like me, that have everything built from source on any given platform. The interest would presumably come from people who get binaries from third parties. - Larry ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
