quartus II tcl script problems

[Altera_Forum]

Hello,  

I am new to tcl scripting in Quartus II.  My task is to compile a project using a tcl script and then use another tcl script to change the directory and again compile a project using a tcl script in the new directory.  To compile the project the script is : set project_name fulladder_new project_new -overwrite $project_name# project_open fulladder source fulladder.qsf load_package flow execute_flow -compile project_close  To change the directory the script is: set dirname D:/tcl_test set sysdir $dirname cd $dirname  I am using a main tcl script to source these two scripts.  source compile_script.tcl source change_dir_script.tcl  However at the end of running the main script as quartus_sh -t main.tcl  The directory doesnt change.  However if I run individual scripts, both of them work.   Can anyone suggest any way to fix this problem  Thanks

I would suggest using a single script with relative paths to both directories where your projects reside.

Thanks for the reply. 

But the project requirements is such that I need individual scripts for all the sub-tasks.  That is why I need to have the structure that I have declared.

Ok. I suppose the problem is that the path changes in change_dir_script, but remains the old one when returning to the top script. I would suggest one of the following: 

 1. Change the dir in the top script  source compile_script.tcl  set dirname D:/tcl_test  set sysdir $dirname  cd $dirname  source compile_script.tcl  2. Use relative paths in the compile scripts, referring to the initial dir where the top script is invoked.
