Paul:
Actually the exe is a part of another software. I cant control how it calls
the tcl script. I can only modify the tcl script.
Alan:
If i open a tclsh shell and ran 'source $env(XILINX)/bin/xilinx-init.tcl',
i'll get the same 2 error that you got.
I did raise this question in the Xilinx forum. A Xilinx employee gave me
the following solution:
[1] Create a second tcl script (second.tcl) that contains all the xilinx
tcl commands that i want to use.
[2] Include the following command in the first tcl script (first.tcl)
exec xtclsh second.tcl
So when the exe calls first.tcl, it'll in turn pass second.tcl to a xtclsh
shell to be evaluated.
It seems to be a bit of a workaround but it works.

OK, now I understand.
I tried this on Linux (Fedora 12 with Xilinx 11.1) and it appeared to work.
So I suggest you raise the issue with Xilinx,
regards
Alan
P.S. This is what I did. The first 2 errors don't seem to have caused a
problem.

% help project
Tcl command: project (create and manage projects)
The project command creates and manages ISE projects. A project contains
all files and data related to a design. You can create a project to
manage all of the design files and to enable different processes to work
on the design.
Syntax: % project <subcommand>
Project subcommands:
archive (archive all files belonging to the current ISE project)
clean (remove system-generated project files)
close (close the ISE project)
get (get project properties)
get_processes (get project processes)
new (create a new ISE project)
open (open an ISE project)
properties (list project properties)
save_as (save project as another ISE project)
set (set project properties, values, and options)
set device (set device)
set family (set device family)
set package (set device package)
set speed (set device speed)
set top (set the top-level module or entity)
For help on a particular subcommand, type:

Is there a reason why you are running your script with tclsh from your
exe, rather than using xtclsh? xtclsh understands the xilinx tcl
commands.

Probably i'm asking the wrong question.
I intend to run most the xilinx tcl commands from project creation to
bitstream creation. But the script is being invoked from an exe file. When
the script gets invoked, it's evaluated in a Tcl regular shell causing all
the xilinx tcl commands to be undefined/no recognized.
How do i load/initialize the xilinx tcl libraries into that script so that
i can use the xilinx tcl commands.
I tried using "source $env(XILINX)/bin/xilinx-init.tcl" which was taken
from the Xilinx Development System Reference Guide document(Chapter 3, page
54) but i received the error above.
Please advise.

What command are you using to execute the tcl? With Xilinx, I would
expect you to be using xtclsh,

Newbie here. I'm running a program that invokes a tcl file. I'm trying to
execute the xilinx tcl commands from that tcl script.
In the tcl script, i only have the following code.
source $env(XILINX)/bin/xilinx-init.tcl
But i received the following error when the script gets invoked:
error reading package index file C:/Xilinx/10.1/ISE/bin/pkgIndex.tcl: load:
Cannot match with any static package.
Try "load_unsupported" to load dynamic packages into statically wrapped
applications.
error reading package index file C:/Xilinx/10.1/ISE/bin/pkgIndex.tcl: load:
Cannot match with any static package.
Try "load_unsupported" to load dynamic packages into statically wrapped
applications.
can't find package xilinx
while executing
"package require xilinx"
(file "C:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE/bin/xilinx-init.tcl" line 30)
invoked from within
"source $env(XILINX)/bin/xilinx-init.tcl"
...........
....
Anyone here with experience dealing with xilinx tcl commands?
Any idea how to solve this? Please advise....
