icarus verilog on windows7

0

I used to work with iverilog on win-xp. But ever since I moved to win7, it does not work. And I am not even using GTK, I just want a plain simulation to run. I have used different versions of iverilog (0.9.4 to 0.9.6), same results.

When I compile a simple verilog (e.g. "iverilog xx.v") I get an a.out. But when I try to run the a.out (after doing "chmod +rx" on it, using cygwin), I only get the cryptic message: "no permissions".

Have any of you faced the same problem, and if so, what is the solution?

With chmod you are changing permissions. You probably first need admin rights to change them in Windows 7. – Nick van Tilborg – 2013-03-28T10:36:01.363

its not a question of me not having admin rights, chmod works. When I run a.exe in windows-cmd, I get a more detailed message: "The program or feature ...\a.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of Windows." So this looks like iverilog generates executable only for 32 bit. Is there a command line option by which it can be asked to generate a 64bit executable? Or, is there a way I can run a 32bit executable on a 64bit windows machine? – R71 – 2013-04-05T06:08:14.620
