mcode backend¶
The mcode backend is available for all supported platforms and is also the simplest procedure, because it requires the fewest dependencies and configuration options.
GCC/GNAT: GNU/Linux or Windows (MinGW/MSYS2)¶
Requirements
GCC (Gnu Compiler Collection)
GNAT (Ada compiler for GCC)
GHDL is configured by configure
and built by make
.
First, GHDL needs to be configured. It is common to specify a
PREFIX
(installation directory like/usr/local
or/opt/ghdl
). Without any other option,configure
selects mcode as the backend.Next,
make
starts the compilation process.Finally,
make install
installs GHDL into the installation directory specified byPREFIX
.
Hint
ON GNU/Linux, you may need super user privileges (sudo ...
).
Example:
$ cd <ghdl>
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX
$ make
$ make install
