F1.5 Foundation Express: Error cannot open the <path>/workdirs/WORK/<file>.sim for writing. Directory does not exist vss-77 fe-dm-hdlc-unknown.
General Description: When trying to synthesize HDL code in a new (or recently moved) project in F1.5, the following errors may occur:
Error: <path_to_project>/<file>.vhd - Cannot open <path_to_project>/workdirs/WORK/<file>.vhd for writing - (directory does not exist or is not writeable). (VSS-77) (FE-dm-hdlc-unknown)
Error: <path_to_project>/<file>.vhd The intermediate file for the entity <ENTITY> is not in the library bound to WORK. (VSS-1084)
where <path_to_project>, <file>, and <ENTITY> refer to your project, VHDL file, and entity, respectively.
You should notice that the project path, <path_to_project> above, contains a tilde (~), meaning that a folder name contains either more than eight characters or a space.
ソリューション
Rename any directories that contain more than eight characters and remove all spaces from directory names. Select File->Project Info to confirm that no tildes exist in the project path.
