configuration error

Hello
I designed one simple mux , then I instantiated the basic mux with
generate loop for more outputs.while compiling with model sim its giving
error as
Error: ..component instance mux1:mux not found.
Is the problem with configuration statement or any others..
Please help me
thank you

You have to add one more 'for ge1'/'end for' statement for the for loop
in the architecture...

hi Eyck
You have to add one more 'for ge1'/'end for' statement for the for loop
in the architecture...

i added the configuration statement for that ge1 for loop only , i think.
i didnt understood why i need one more like this.

for ge1
use entity work.mux(mux_beh);
end for;

even if i add also its giving the same error as
Error: ..component instance mux1:mux not found.(error point to first end
for)

The generate statement opens a new block inside the VHDL unit (the same
way like the 'block' statement does), therefore you have to *add* it to
the configration:
configuration mux_ge_config of mux_ge is
for mux_ge_str -- this is the 'block configuration' for the
-- architecture
for ge1: -- this is the 'block configuration' of the generate
-- statement
for mut1:mux -- this is the 'configuration specification'
-- of the component
use entity work.mux(mux_beh);
end for;
end for;
end for;
end configuration mux_ge_config;
An alternative way would be to use the 'all' instead of an instantiation
label:
for all:mux use entity work.mux(mux_beh); end for;
