graphical user interface (GUI). For information about downloading the Synopsys Installer,
To install IC Compiler, follow the procedures described in Installing Synopsys Tools. This
document provides a Synopsys media installation script. IC Compiler is installed in a similar
manner.
IC Compiler is a stand-alone product and cannot be installed over an existing Synopsys
product, including a prior version of IC Compiler. You must create a new directory for IC
Compiler.
Setting Up the User Environment
To set up the user environment, you must specify the location of the executable file and set
the license environment variable.
Specifying the Executable File Location
A platform-independent wrapper script is provided for the IC Compiler tool. This script
automatically determines the operating system platform at runtime, which simplifies the
setup required to use IC Compiler.
The platform-independent wrappers are located at
icc_root/bin and include the following new options:
-32bit|-64bit
Note:
If you select an executable file that is not available, you will automatically be switched to
an available platform based on your current environment. A warning message will not be
issued.
To set up the environment by using platform-independent wrappers, add the IC Compiler bin
directory to the PATHenvironment variable.
If you are using the C shell, add the following line to the .cshrc file:
set path=(icc_root/bin $path)
