Hi there. (cc to gnucap-devel, which is a better place for this topic).

I just need some helpful advice. what you want to do is compile/link the verilator output against an interface to gnucap (instead of a main() program). something very similar already exists for spice components. spice-wrapper.cc implements the interface which is then linked to spice object code. in your case, the wrapper will have to take care of the signal conversion and/or instanciate appropriate connectors, some work on the verilator side might be neccessary... > I'm have not studied the projects to understand them very well.
