newbie problem with Xilinx tutorial

[Dave]

Hi all -

I'm just getting started with Xilinx FPGAs and I'm having a problem getting
the built-in Xilinx tutorial to run under ISE 8.1.03i.

I've tried their "tech support" (filed a case) but its been two weeks today
and the "tech" is not "supporting".

I'm running Windows XP Media Edition (SP2), 3.0GHz, 1GB, etc. This is the
downloaded Webpack.

Everything in the tutorial ran fine until I got to the "Create a
Self-Checking Test Bench Waveform" section. When I tried to double-click
the "Generate Expected Simulation Results", I get the following errors:

Running Fuse ...
Parsing "counter_tbw_gen.prj": 0.14
ERROR:Simulator:170 - work/counter/Behavioral is not compiled properly.
Please recompile work/counter/Behavioral in file
"C:/projects/Xilinx/tutorial2/counter.vhd" without -incremental option.
ERROR:Simulator:199 - Failed when handling dependencies for entity
counter_tbw, architecture testbench_arch

I followed the tutorial exactly. Where is the "-incremental" option
specified and how do I disable it?

Has any one else seen this problem?

TIA.

Dave

Never mind... I found the problem after extensive checking and tests.

Hi Dave

Can you share what you've found since I'm running into the same problem
?

Nir (or anyone else Googling this up),

I'm having the same problem with ISE Simulator v9.1. The work around that I found was to "touch" the file the ERROR:Simulator:170 barks about.

For Dave's example, just open "C:/projects/Xilinx/tutorial2/counter.vhd", tweak something, and re-save. (I just add a blank and then delete it.) This will cause the simulator to recompile the source and eliminate the error. You may have to do this for a series of source files if ISE Simulator has lost it's way. :-(

The error has nothing to do with "-incremental" compilation. If someone finds a way to "recompile all" for the ISE Simulator, please pass it along.
