Error in `include statement

[priya]

Hi all,


Top verilog code is in Top.v file.
I include decoder.v file in top module


`include "C:\iverilog\decoder.v"

module top;
------------
-------
---------
endmodule



I got the following error while compiling top .v

top.v:1: Include file C:/iverilog/decoder.v not found
No top level modules, and no -s option.



I am using Icarus simulator...


how to include a verilog file into another verilog file..


Regards,

use the -s option to specify the top module and also use the
-I<include_dir> option to specify the directory to search for when
compiling modules.

Well, if the file to be included contains a module, then the answer is
quite simple: YOU DON'T. You wouldn't include a C source file into
another C source, now, would you?

I haven't looked at iverilog in quite a while, but if it's to be
remotely useful, it should support multiple source files, each
containing a module, and it will have a mechanism to put it all
together for simulation.
