On Unix system this is not reliable.
Why not reliable? Our tools do it that way for the last 15 years or so, never had a problem. The fact that a registry key is used to lookup a directory is (at the moment) a hidden factor which we do not like. My next plan is to try (as you suggested) the -P option, and eliminate all registry stuff as follows: * install ghdl 0.25 in C:\ghdl * create a zip * uninstall ghdl * unpack the zip in C:\ghdl-0.25 * run the tool with -P C:\ghdl-0.25 * repeat for other ghdl versions This will fail if something, somehow still uses C:\ghdl to search anything, which is exactly what I want to see. -- ************************************** Kees Bakker Senior Software Designer Altium - Think it, Design it, Build it Phone : +31 33 455 8584 E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://www.altium.com/ ************************************** Nothing is foolproof!
