Digital simulation in qucs don't work

[VladimirUA72]

Binary package hint: freehdl

Ubuntu 8.10 (29.10.2008)
qucs-0.0.14.1
freehdl-0.0.6 (/usr/lib/libfreehdl-kernel.la /usr/lib/libfreehdl-std.la)
Digital simulation break with next error:
...
running C++ conversion... done.
compiling functions... done.
compiling main... done.
linking...libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration
...
libtool: link: specify a tag with `--tag'

Confirmed. Unable to simulate digital stuff.

Hi, I got the same problem. a diff that fixes the problem is attached.
greetings,

Jan-Pieter Jacobs

[Jan-Pieter Jacobs (jpjacobs)]

of course, that's a patch for /usr/bin/gvhdl of the freehdl 0.0.6-2 package.

can any one illustrate how could apply this patch ??
Thanks and sorry my ignorance...

[Jan-Pieter Jacobs (jpjacobs)]

Hi Ahmed!

It's easy: save gvhdl.diff in a directory. If you don't need to use
gvhdl from within Qucs, you could copy the gvhdl script to the dir
where you need to use it, as I don't know
whether patching the gvhdl script in place will break updates.
If you want to use it directly from within Qucs, I guess you can patch
it anyway in the /usr/bin directory. Any how, go where gvhdl is, there
do:
 patch -b gvhdl < gvhdl.diff
That will change the script so it works. A backup is taken in case
something goes wrong (gvhdl.orig).
Now to use it just use ./gvhdl in that directory, or if you plan to
use it with qucs (As i don't find an option to change the vhdlsim
binary) i guess you need to copy the gvhdl script back to /usr/bin.

Hope this helps you!

Greets,

Jan-Pieter

thanks for fast response but it didnt work....
qucs display this message
/usr/bin/qucsdigi: 82: libtool: not found

i think i have patched as u have said

ahmed@ahmed-pc:~/Desktop$ sudo patch -b /usr/bin/gvhdl < gvhdl.diff
patching file /usr/bin/gvhdl
ahmed@ahmed-pc:~/Desktop$

[Ahmed Kotb (kotbcorp)]

i was able to run it when i changed the model of the digital simulation component from VHDL to verilog
Sorry for wasting ur time

Then I guess you should file a bug against freehdl as gvhdl needs this
anyway, so it should be a dependancy.
The fix for this problem would just to install libtool, if you prefer
using vhdl instead of verilog...

Just to say that I tried running a VHDL simulation in qucs
(that simulates OK with Verilog netlist format) returning:

    creating netlist... done.
    running C++ conversion... done.
    compiling functions... done.
    compiling main... done.
    linking...libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration

    error: libtool: link: specify a tag with `--tag'

using:
    ubuntu 8.10
    qucs 0.0.14-1
    freehdl 0.0.6-2
    libtool 2.2.4-0ubuntu4
    patched gvhdl with gvhdl.diff and checked that /usr/bin/gvhdl has:
              my $libtool_options = "--mode=link --tag=CXX";

Just download freehdll from qucs.sourceforge.net, put it in usr/src/
compile and install, after patch gvhdl and it's work :)

[Christopher Covington (cov)]

(Pasted from my report for Gentoo bug #276611)

Digital simulations in QUCS 0.0.15 will fail because the qucsdigi script
expects freehdl-config to have the --linker option. The error seen by a user
is:

/usr/bin/qucsdigi: line 83: Usage:: command not found

The --linker option is available as of freehdl-0.0.7.

It is necessary to either modify the qucsdigi shell script, setting the LIBTOOL
variable to something valid or, preferably, bump freehdl and depend on the newer version.

Refering to

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501768#10

this bug should be fixed with freehdl-0.0.6-3

Could someone confirm that it is fixed on Ubuntu13.04 developer branch with freehdl0.0.7 ?
