The w11 project uses the open source VHDL simulator
|
| 4 |
|
|
|
| 5 |
|
|
ghdl
|
| 6 |
|
|
|
| 7 |
|
|
It used to be part of most distributions. Unfortunately the Debian maintainer
|
| 8 |
|
|
for ghdl refused at some point to integrate ghdl into Debian Etch. Therefore
|
| 9 |
29 |
wfjm |
ghdl was part of Debian 5 "Lenny", and again of Debian 6 "Squeeze", and is
|
| 10 |
|
|
missing again in Debian 7 "Wheezy" (the current 'stable').
|
| 11 |

wfjm |
|
| 12 |
|
|
The glitch at Debian unfortunately lead to the removal of ghdl from Ubuntu,
|
| 13 |
29 |
wfjm |
which is based on Debian. Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" up to 11.10 "Oneiric" included
|
| 14 |
|
|
ghdl, the currently maintained versions 12.04 LTS "Precise", 14.04 LTS "Trusty"
|
| 15 |
|
|
and 14.10 "Utopic" unfortunately don't.

To install ghdl on an up-to-date Debian or Ubuntu systems you have the

wfjm |
following options {as of early February 2015}:

Thanks to Peter Gavin Ubuntu packages for GHDL are available from his PPA

|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pgavin/ghdl
|
| 30 |
|
|
sudo apt-get update

Thanks to Joris van Rantwijk Debian packages for GHDL are available
|
| 36 |
|
|
from the web site

|

There are also Ubuntu packages, but Joris focus is clearly on Debian.

Only Debian and Ubuntu are actively used by the w11a developer. The situation
|
| 43 |
|
|
for other Linux distributions is therefore just taken from the respective web
|
| 44 |
|
|
sites {status October 2013}:

| 46 |
|
|
- Suse
|
| 47 |
|
|
For Suse 12.2 and 12.3 un-official ghdl packages are available, but they
|
| 48 |
|
|
seem to be based on the long obsolete ghdl version 0.27.
|
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
- Redhat/Fedora
|
| 51 |
|
|
For Fedora 18,19, and 20 packages are available based on ghdl 0.29
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
- Gentoo
|
| 54 |
|
|
Packages, marked 'unstable', are available based on ghdl 0.29 and 0.27
