Re: [Qucs-devel] Adms xml generation

[Richard C. <s02...@sm...>]

Hi all,

Ok, so to clarify exactly what's happening for me, I have cloned the git 
mirror (here: https://github.com/upverter/ADMS) of the adms code (as the 
adms svn repo has been moved from SourceForge to a closed repo, and the 
source download provided at SourceForge has some build issues). I now 
therefore have adms 2.3 built and installed from source:

richard@hector ~/src/qucs/qucs-core $ admsXml --version
[usage..] <release name="admsXml" version="2.3.0" date="Jan  4 2013" 
time="10:28:05"/>

However, when I first attempted to build qucs-core I got an error due to 
missing source files in the verilog directory. These are the files which 
must be generated by adms. I looked in the Makefile.am and saw that 
there was an "if MAINTAINER_MODE" option which was seemed to trigger 
their creation. However running configure with --enable-maintainer-mode 
did not seem to trigger this. Next I manually commented out the if 
statements so that it was always triggered and reran autogen etc. etc. 
Now make does call adms to create the files but there is an error:

Making all in verilog
make[4]: Entering directory 
`/home/richard/src/qucs/qucs-core/src/components/verilog'
/usr/local/bin/admsXml fbh_hbt-2_2a.va -e analogfunction.xml
[info...] admsXml-2.3.0 (unknown) Jan  4 2013 10:28:05
[fatal..] [./fbh_hbt-2_2a.va:201:26]: at 'TJ':
[fatal..] node never declared

Running the command manually from the verilog directory yields the 
following:

richard@hector ~/src/qucs/qucs-core/src/components/verilog $ admsXml 
fbh_hbt-2_2a.va -e analogfunction.xml
[info...] admsXml-2.3.0 (unknown) Jan  4 2013 10:28:05
[fatal..] [./fbh_hbt-2_2a.va:201:26]: at 'TJ':
[fatal..] node never declared

so the problem is that adms cannot process the file analogfunction.xml 
for some reason. Is this a problem with my version of adms, or with the 
file analogfunction.xml?
