Digital Simulation Prerequisites

[tomhajjar]

I cannot get Digital Simulations to work in Qucs-S. I installed Icarus Verilog, FreeHDL. I believe all required programs have been installed but still no luck.

Digital Simulations work in Qucs 0.0.19/0.0.20. Qucs "portable" came with numerous programs like ADMS and Free-HDL already "pre-installed". Ming was installed years ago for Qucs. Qucs uses a batch file, qucs.bat to set paths. Is this needed for Qucs-S?

The wrapper script cannot find iVerilog. You have to add the iverilog and vvp executable location to $PATH variable. https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ Alternatively you may edit the qucs_run_verilog.bat script.

I have plans to get rid of wrapper scripts and launch iverilog directly from Qucs-S GUI and allow user to configure executable location.

FreeHDL is deprecated and doesn't work with modern compilers anymore. I am getting the error on Linux too. It's need to switch the Qucs-S to GHDL.

I have created two issues #395 and #396 as follow up of this report. Closing this.
