Altera RTE for OpenCL - Manual (Page 12)

Attention: If you set the environment variables permanently, you apply the settings once during installa‐
tion. If you set the environment variables transiently, you must apply the settings during
installation and during every subsequent session you run.
• To apply permanent environment variable settings, perform the following tasks:
1. In the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2. In the System window, click Advanced system settings. In the Advanced tab of the System
Properties dialog box, click Environment Variables.
3. In the Environment Variables dialog box, include the following paths in the corresponding
environment variable settings:
Environment Variable Path to Include
PATH
1. %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\bin
2. %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\host\windows64\bin
where ALTERAOCLSDKROOT points to the path of the software installa‐
tion
• To apply transient environment variable settings, open a command window and run the
%ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\init_opencl.bat script.
Example script output:
AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT path is not set in environment
Setting to default s5_ref board.
If you want to target another board, do
set AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT=board_pkg_dir
and re-run this script
Adding %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\bin to PATH
Adding %ALTERAOCLSDKROOT%\host\windows64\bin to PATH
Adding %AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT%\windows64\bin to PATH
where AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT points to the path of the Custom or Reference Platform.
Running the
init_opencl.bat
script only affects the current command window. The script performs the
following tasks:
• Finds the Microsoft Visual Studio installation
• Imports the Microsoft Visual Studio environment to properly set the LIB environment variable
• Ensures that the PATH environment variable includes the path to the Microsoft LINK.EXE file
