I am attempting to use Xilinx Vivado Linux version, distributed in binary form, on NetBSD 9.2 amd64.
The product officially doesn't support more than a couple of widely used Linux distros, but I find it working fine on Void Linux. On NetBSD, through Linux emulation, I can get some of the tools in this product (like verilog and vhdl compilers) working fine. Now, when it comes to simulation, Vivado generates some C code that needs to be compiled and linked with some of the libraries it provides which are distributed in binary form. Is it possible to use NetBSD's native compiler for this scenario (C sources and .so files that come with Vivado, meant for Linux)? (It doesn't work. I'll post errors if this is supposed to work.) Alternatively, shall I be using even gcc's Linux version through Linux emulation? If yes, how? -- Mayuresh
