Getting Started
% set path=($VCS_HOME /bin\ $VCS_HOME/‘$VCS_HOME/bin/vcs
-platform‘/bin\ $path)
Make sure the path environment variable is set to a bin directory
containing a make or gmake program.
• LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable
The definition can either be an absolute path name to a license
file or to a port on the license server. Separate the arguments in
this definition with colons in UNIX.
For example:
% setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 7182@serveroh:/u/net/serveroo/
eda_tools/license.dat
For additional information on environment variables, see Appendix
A, "VCS Environment Variables".
Setting Up Your C Compiler
On Solaris, HP, and Linux, VCS requires a C compiler to link the
executable file that you simulate, and, in some cases, to compile
intermediate files. If this is the case, you will need to set the path to
a C compiler.
Solaris does not come bundled with a C compiler so you must
purchase the C compiler for Solaris or use gcc. VCS assumes the
compiler is located in its default location: /usr/ccs/bin.
HP, Linux, and IBM RS/6000 AIX platforms all come bundled with a
C compiler. VCS assumes the compiler is located in its default
location: /usr/bin.
