Building GHDL from sources:
***************************
Required:
* the sources of @GCCVERSION@ (at least the core part).
Note: other versions of gcc sources have not been tested.
* the Ada95 GNAT compiler (GNAT GPL 2008 are known to work;
Ada compilers in most Linux distributions are more or less buggy)
* GNU/Linux for ix86 (pc systems) (porting is necessary for other systems)
Procedure:
* Check your Ada compiler. On some systems (or with some distribution), the
GNAT compiler seems broken. Try this very simple example, using file
example.adb
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
procedure Example is
begin
null;
end Example;
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Compile with
$ gnatmake example
It should create an executable, 'example'.
If this doesn't work, your GNAT installation is broken. It may be a PATH
problem or something else.
* untar the gcc tarball
* untar the ghdl tarball (this sould have been done, since you are reading a
file from it).
* move or copy the vhdl directory of ghdl into the gcc subdirectory of
the gcc distribution.
You should have a @GCCVERSION@/gcc/vhdl directory.
* configure gcc with the --enable-languages=vhdl option. You may of course
add other languages.
Refer to the gcc installation documentation.
* compile gcc.
'make CFLAGS="-O"' is OK
* install gcc. This installs the ghdl driver too.
'make install' is OK.
Send bugs and comments to ghdl@free.fr.
If you cannot compile, please report the gcc version, GNAT version and gcc
source version.
Tristan Gingold.
