Making library for FPHDL

Hi
I want to generate the IEEE_PROPOSED library using Modelsim6.1 .
I can see an "compile.mti" file, but dont know how to use it.

I searched but could not found anything about .mti file. Macros have to
be in .do format.
How do I use "compile.mti" than ?

THanks

Step one is look at in an editor.

Modelsim doesn't really care about the name.
..do just lets the gui list them for you.
it can be .do .tcl .mti or .eieio

If it is indeed a vsim script, that would be.

vsim -c mytb -do compile.mti

compile.mti is a compile script, just run it.

If it won't run, bring it up in an editor and run the compile commands
individually.

Hi David,
I tried to create the library by usual method in modelsim, and got
huge list of errors, a part of which I am posting below.
Please point out the fault in the process I am following.

I see the problem.

"fixed_synth" was designed as a testcase for the IEEE versions of the
libraries.

1) get the fixed_pkg_c.vhdl
go here:
http://www.vhdl.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-2...ges/files.html
(http://www.vhdl.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-2...xed_pkg_c.vhdl)
Because the eda.org site has been hijacked.

compile it into your "work" library.

Modify the "fixed_synth.vhd" to use "work.fixed_pkg.all", not IEEE, and
it should work.
