Example project misses 'bsc' command

[ranzbak]

I'm running Mint Linux 19.2, and I used the apt get method to install the fpgamake software on my machine. One of the first steps I am trying is to build an example project, but I'm not able to, it seems like the 'bsc' command is missing on my machine? The documentation doesn't mention anything about bsc. Please let me know if more information is needed.

bsc is the Bluespec System Verilog compiler from bluespec.com. It is available for free for academic use. The goal of splitting fpgamake out of connectal was to make it independent of BSV, so it was an error on my part to add an example that depends on bsc.

The led_sw example does not depend on BSV. I could also commit the Verilog generated by BSV for the kc705 example if that would be helpful.
