4. Compile the project:
v Perform a full compilation on the project. After the initial
compilation, if you make additional changes to the project, you
should recompile the project. When you recompile the project, the
software synthesizes each changed partition separately and then
automatically merges the partitions to create a flattened netlist.
v If you are running Compiler modules individually, perform
Analysis & Synthesis to synthesize each partition incrementally.
When you are ready to merge the partitions back into the
complete project, use the Start > Start Partition Merge command
(Processing menu) to create a complete project database before
running the Fitter and other Compiler modules.
