XILINX_EDK environment Variable

I am traversing my Xilinx log file after a build. The warning below shows up in the beginning of the log.

Will this cause me problems? What should the XILINX_EDK environment variable be set to/

Hey John,

What version of LabVIEW/FPGA are you using? What hardware? Can you describe what you're trying to accomplish with this code?

[Valentin87]

I have the same error. This message appear when run \programs\Xilinx14_7\PlanAhead\bin\planahead.bat.

[Brian.D]

What version of software are you using, and what hardware are you using? In some cases, this error message is actually expected when running the batch file.

[Valentin87]

I use ISE 14.7 on Windows 7 SP1 on my local computer (not in shassis).

Hi Valentin,

Does the compilation complete regardless of the warning?

We've seen this pop up before for older versions of LabVIEW/LabVIEW FPGA Module, but it hasn't gotten in the way of compilation before. Could you also confirm the version of LabVIEW/FPGA for us?

Hi.

I don't compile anything. I just open ISE, then PlanAhead.

I attached URL to video what I do - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/kZBy/rAmmvssvE

Have you tried compiling your program? As others said, if this isn't getting in the way of executing your program you may be able to ignore the message.
