Dear Community,

I've compiled the Verilator from scratch.
Untar the verilator-4.016.tgz.

cd /home/myhome/mylocation
setenv PWD_PATH pwd
tar xfz verilator-4.016.tgz
cd verilator-4.016
./configure --prefix=${PWD_PATH}/verilator --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
make
make install

If I'm done with that I see:
/home/myhome/mylocation/verilator
- bin
- share - verilator - bin
- include

Then due to a intended reason I've copy the verilator folder to another location
/tools/anotherlocation/verilator

setting VERILATOR_ROOT to /tools/anotherlocation/verilator

The shipped examples fail with a no such file or directory error, since it tries to find the verilator.mk
file at the wrong location: /tools/anotherlocation/verilator/include/verilated.mk
The correct folder is: /tools/anotherlocation/verilator/share/verilator/include/verilated.mk

To solve this issue I've copied

• share/verilator/include to /tools/anotherlocation/verilator/
  and
• share/verilator/bin to /tools/anotherlocation/verilator/

This works then...

Is there a better solution to achive the correct behaviour?

BTW: Under mingw-w64 the installation structure is the same.
The above descibed problem does not exist there (no copy of the include folder).
BUT:
There it fails due to a unknown compiler option "-faligned-new" - remove it from verilated.mk file solves this issue.
(gcc-4.9.4)

CFG_CXXFLAGS_NO_UNUSED = -faligned-new -Wno-bool-operation -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-shadow

Could you please help me in this case?

KR,
Thomas
