Installation

You will need (and really want) to install the compiler on a hard disk. To install the Green Mountain VHDL compiler package
  1. Insert the original disk
  2. Mount the disk (ex. mount /dev/fd0 /mnt) or copy the files to a temporary directory with mtools (see man mtools).
  3. Change to the directory where you mounted or copied the files and run the install script.
  4. The installation program will ask you what directory you would like to install the program in. Enter a directory.
  5. You will also need to add the path you entered into the installation program to the PATH environment variable.
  6. Set the VHDLPATH environment variable to the lib subdirectory of the installation path.
