first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
-all previous netbsd patches have been incorporated (Thanks Steve!)
-changes from the authors announcement:
I fixed a problem with some systems not having getopt.h. I forget
which system it was, but configure takes care of it. I've also fixed
some broken install targets in the Makefiles.
I've added a new pin_count statement to PA files, so that the library
can provide to the user more information about the pinout of the device
in question. Applications may use this to help manage its pin binding
tasks.
A contributed 16l8 part description file was contributed, and included
in this release.
note, this is the development snapshot version of the package. As stable
releases become available, there will be a ipal package.
from DESCR:
Icarus PAL is a set of libraries and utilities for manipulating PAL
designs. The design information is conveyed in the industry standard
JEDEC file format.
Icarus PAL accepts parts descriptions that detail the device
structure, capabilities and pinouts so that software can be written to
work relatively independent of the part type. These parts descriptions
also describe how the fuses of a device are arranged, so that
synthesis tools can generate fuse maps to get the desired
functionality and pinout. See as a commented example the description
in the pa/pal22v10.pa description.
The ipaledit program takes as input a .JED file and displays the PAL
design. It shows the sum-of-products as a fuse matrix, and shows the
macrocell configurations in convenient form.
The ipalrev program takes as input a .JED file and reverse compiles
it, producing a Verilog program that logically describes the
design. This use useful for moving old designs to new tools.
Please note that this package is a development snapshot and while it contains
the latest and greatest features, it may be buggy as well. When
available there will be a seperate ipal package which will be made of
the stable releases.
