GHDL-0.32 Roadmap

Goals for the next release.

GHDL Roadmap

Longer term goals for ghdl are on the GHDL Roadmap page

GHDL Release Process

Steps to be followed when preparing GHDL for a release.

GHDL Release Process

Building the current snapshot of GHDL

If you need to build the development branch of ghdl for any reason - perhaps to access the latest features, or work around a bug in ghdl-0.31, these instructions will build ghdl from the Mercurial repository - by default, the latest revision, but optionally, any other tagged version or indeed any specific commit.

ghdl - gcc version

For other Linux distributions you will have to build ghdl from source.

For Apple Mac, build ghdl-gcc from source on Mac have been tested on OSX 10.9 and should work on OS X 10.8.

We do not yet have instructions for building ghdl-gcc from source on Windows.

For FreeBSD (and similar BSD) software packages are generally built from source, using the ports system : Instructions for installing ghdl on BSD systems.

ghdl - mcode version

The mcode version is easier to build.

Follow these instructions for Linux and OS X.

Follow these instructions for Windows.
