Libraries, packages and synthesis problems!

[Michael Nicklas]

Hi

I am trying to synthesise a bit of code which uses a package called
text_util.

The library declarations are as follows:

library IEEE;
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;
use IEEE.std_logic_arith.all;
use IEEE.std_logic_unsigned.all;
use std.textio.all;
use txt_util.all;


when I synthesise it (using Xilinx XST in ISE 6.1sp2) I get the following
error:

ERROR:HDLParsers:3014 -
//s01/projects/tcs/tcs_02/TCS_02_VHDL_projects/ping_simulation_201103/SPARTA
N.vhd Line 11. Library unit txt_util is not available in library work.


I have checked the solution record on the Xilinx support site and it suggest
that this error would be fixed in service pack 2, obviously this is not the
case it was referring to specifically!

Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for including packages in libraries
please?

Do I have to compile this text_util package to another library?

Do I have to create a user library?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance

Put the package text_util in your working directory (i.e.where all your VHDL
is kept for that project)
Then call the package like so:

use WORK.text_util.all;

Hope this helps.

Hi, Michael,

Include txt_util.vhd to your project and use line:
use work.txt_util.all;
instead of line:
use txt_util.all;
