error: aocl_opt: Too many positional arguments specified. Can specify at most 1 positional arguments

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    The Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ does not support spaces in project directory names. If you attempt to run the aoc compiler in a directory that contains spaces in the name, you may receive one of the following errors:

    aocl_opt: Too many positional arguments specified. Can specify at most 1 positional arguments

    dsdk.dll is missing 

    simulation.dll is missing

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, please use project directories without spaces in the name or rename existing project directories so they do not have spaces in the directory names.  Try the compile again using the new directory names. Future versions of documentation will have reminder notes added.

    This is a scripting language limitation so this problem will not be fixed by changes in the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™.
