QSYS use relative IP Search Path

[Altera_Forum]

I have some IP components located in my local directory structure. I can manually add a hard coded IP Search Path and everything works fine. I cannot figure out how to make this search path relative to my project file. Any help?

Whoops. Nevermind, I think I found the answers: 

 1) If using the QSYS GUI: create the file *.ipx in the same directory as QSYS. Use the path relative to the *.qsys file:  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <library>  <path path="../ip_components/**/*" /> </library>  2) If using ip-generate, add the argument: --search-path=$qwork/../SourceCode/qsys/ip_components,$  the $qwork path was a TCL script variable. The path is relative to where you are calling ip-generate (relative to the *.qpf in my case).
