mafalk Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hey, i use the SystemC 2.3.0 Library on a Ubuntu 64 bit System but it doesn't work. Can someone give me an installation tutorial? A Step-by-Step tutorial with explanations would be nice. The tutorials that i found by Google didn't work. Thank you for your help.

apfitch Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The instructions in the INSTALL file should work. If they don't, please post the error message you get, regards Alan David Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps you also. http://vinaydvd.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/installing-systemc-in-ubuntu/ Hello Sir, Most of these online tutorials are hopelessly outdated and thus worthless. For example, www.asic-world.com - has examples compiled with SystemC 2.1, and now we are using SystemC 2.3. As Mr. Alan Fitch has very rightly pointed out, please use the instructions in the INSTALL file included in the source code tar file. Hope that helps.

agrawalyogesh04 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hello Sir dakupoto, I completely agree with you. As a beginner to SystemC(or C/C++ programming in general), I had faced some issues when trying to use SystemC after its installation(following instructions in INSTALL) on my Ubuntu system. I was unable to link SystemC shared library. Later I figured out LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was not set somehow which caused me trouble. This is when the above link came to my rescue. As a beginner, I am not sure if this has to be taken care by user or installation process itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Black Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue cannot be taken care of by the installer since that would mean a very delicate modification of users' home "dot" files and is very dependent on features that are not easy to infer. As somebody observed, SystemC is a C++ library and there is a fundamental expectation that you are competent in C++. I would not suggest anybody try to learn SystemC without first mastering C++. Sort of like asking somebody to read complex novel before they even know how to read. That said, if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the only issue, which I doubt, then it depends on: 1. Which shell you are using (probably BASH) 2. Where you installed SystemC (not where you expanded the tarball 3. The architecture of your host computer (e.g. x86 or x86_64 etc...) Assuming you installed in a directory such as $HOME/systemc-2.3, and assuming BASH, and assuming you are on x86_64, then likely you need a command like: SYSTEMC_HOME=$HOME/systemc-2.3 if [[ "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" == "" ]]; then LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$SYSTEMC_HOME/lib-linux64 else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SYSTEMC_HOME/lib-linux64 fi Again, read the INSTALL file for Linux carefully. agrawalyogesh04 and maehne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Sir, If as you say you are a beginner to C/C++, please brush up on your C/C++ very well, before you attempt SystemC. SystemC is basically a C++ library and is based on one of the most advanced features of the language - "templates". If you plunge into SystemC right off, you will run into rough weather. So please devote at least a month or so so, get grips on the C++ langauge features and then get into SystemC. Hope that helps. agrawalyogesh04 and David Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafalk Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hello, i am trying to install SystemC with the instructions in the INSTALL-File. But i can't set the environment variable. When i type "setenv CXX g++" i get the Error-Message setenv is not known. What do i wrong? I am a Newbie on Linux but i need it for my study. Can anyone help me?

apfitch Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 OK, two answers - firstly, it'll probably work without that, assuming you have a c++ compiler installed, so you could just leave that out completely. Second answer - setenv is specific to c-shell. You're probably running bash, in that case the equivalent command is export CXX=g++ regards Alan David Black and maehne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_askar Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi I used to run my systemC program in linux terminal. Now I am trying to use Eclipse as an IDE. I am using Ubuntu 14.4 on a 64bit platform. I followed the steps in INSTALL file. I have no problem in compiling the code but when I want to execute the program I get the following error message: /home/hossein/SystemCEclipse/SystemC/Debug/SystemC: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemc-2.3.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I assume that I have problems in linking the libraries. In Eclipse I have done the following: 1- I have add systemc-2.3.1/include to include paths in GCC C++ compiler 2- I have add systemc in GCC C++ Linker/Libraries and I have add systemc-2.3.1/lib-linux64 to GCC C++ Linker/Library search path any help would be highly appericiated EDIT: After a few try, I finally find the solution! I forgot to configure the systemc library (libsystemc2.3.1) to linux library path here is how to do it: sudo ln -s /usr/local/systemc-2.3.1/lib-linux64/libsystemc-2.3.1.so /usr/lib/libsystemc-2.3.0.so I found the solution in this website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apfitch Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Making a soft link works,but is a bit hacky. If you want a library to appear in the library linker path for all users, you should add it using ldconfig. Add your library information into /etc/ld.conf, then run ldconfig to add it to the system path. Also in your solution you've linked libsystemc2.3.1.so to libsystemc2.3.0 which suggests something else is wrong with your setup (i.e. mixing up 2.3.0 and 2.3.1). However your original approach (adding the library path to Eclipse, and adding systemc to the linker list) should have worked. It's a mystery... regards Alan mo_askar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
