following options {as of early October 2013}:

Thanks to Joris van Rantwijk Debian packages for GHDL are available
|
|
from the web site
|
|
|
|
http://jorisvr.nl/ghdl_debian.html
|
|
|
|
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 for other linux distributions is therefore just taken from
|
|
the respective web sites:
|
|
|
|
- Suse
|
|
For Suse 12.2 and 12.3 un-official ghdl packages are available, but they
|
|
seem to be based on the long obsolete ghdl version 0.27.
|
|
|
|
- Redhat/Fedora
|
|
For Fedora 18,19, and 20 packages are available based on ghdl 0.29
|
|
|
|
- Gentoo
|
|
Packages, marked 'unstable', are available based on ghdl 0.29 and 0.27
