Hehe, not exactly true.. Xilinx Webpack installs and runs just fine with
WINE.. So, you don't need a Windows box to use Webpack.. We've successfully
run it this way for a long time now here.. There are just two minor issues:
1) You'll just need to remember to set the $XILINX environment variable before
starting the webpack else it'll fail.. This is fixed easily using a simple
script..
2) You'll want to turn off the main STDERR window for the webpack as the
screen updates are quite slow.. You can still get all your error messages
from the log file..
cheers..
PS, I've just checked, the $XILINX/vhdl/src directory is in the webpack as
well..
