Hi,
If you allow, i would like to rant a little bit.
I just build ghdl following the instructions on [1].
Eventhough this works, it is very cumbersome and tedious.
I am not sure whether many people would use this process to
build ghdl more than once in a while. If i had some problems
with ghdl and would like to fix it, i would probably think twice
before looking at the code, because building would require me
to go trough these steps each time i need to change something.
Yes, it works, but do you really like those steps? I cannot
imagine that you, the developers, use these steps often. You have
most likely automated the process somehow.
Would it be possible to enhance the compilation guide such, that
building ghdl is just calling one or two commands? Best would
be to have just a ./configure && make && install (yes, not exactly
possible with gcc), a build_ghdl.sh would be a close second.
The building process has changed a lot after 0.31. This can now
be as easy as configure/make/make install (when using mcode backend).
See:
https://sourceforge.net/p/ghdl-updates/code/ci/default/tree/README
It is also possible to use llvm instead of gcc; the build with llvm
is also simpler.
Thanks for listening to my rant
Do not hesitate to make comments after the new build procedure. I
wrote the README, but I am pretty sure it could be improved!
Tristan.
