MainWin ® Release Notes - Synplicity Excerpts

Synplicity software for UNIX operating systems is created using Mainsoft

as MainWin itself. This document contains excerpts from the Visual MainWin

4.0.2_SP1 Release Notes that are relevant to end-users of Synplicity products.

For a list of the platforms and operating system releases supported by your

specific Synplicity product, see the Platform Support section of your product

release notes.

MainWin® Release Notes – Synplicity Excerpts

1.0

System Requirements

1.1

Patch Management

If you are currently using Visual MainWin and the installed patches for your operating system

meet your needs, we strongly recommend that you not change your installed patches.

The list of patches below is recommended for new customers and customers experiencing prob-

lems.

Note: Packages such as the compilers and OpenGL sometimes contain patches that are older

than the currently required patches. You should first install the packages, and then

install the patches required by MainWin.

Mainsoft makes every effort to provide the most current and accurate information about

patches for the various platforms and operating systems. Just before we complete the develop-

ment of a new release, we verify that we are using the smallest number of, and the most recent,

patches available. The cycle of building and testing a new release may take several weeks. It

frequently occurs that during that time, a vendor will issue a new patch that supersedes a patch

that was used for the build. Mainsoft recommends using the tested patch list. However, we also

recognize that not all customers will be able to update or roll back their patch configuration.

Superseding patches should work; however, Mainsoft cannot take responsibility for patches

that have not been tested.

Patches can be installed from your operating system vendor’s web site or from CD.

1.2

Checking the Installed Patches

All of the Synplicity application programs include a script ( syn_system_check ) that is

designed to check which patches have been installed and which patches need to be installed or

updated. To use this script:

1. Install the Synplicity product software.

2. Run the script by entering the following command in a Unix shell:

/<install_dir>/<product>_<version>/bin/syn_system_check

The script displays an introductory message and prompt; enter y to continue.

3. The script runs and generates a system check summary report that lists the patches and

patch status (OK, install, or update).

4. Consult the display and install or update any of the patches indicated.

On Solaris systems, a patch is sometimes required that is specific for the installed graphics

card. Use the instructions that follow to determine which graphics card is installed on your sys-

tem.

To detect your graphics card, enter:

% ls /dev/fbs/*

The output from the above command identifies your graphics card. Use the following table to

determine which graphics card is present according to the output you received.
