vcom in modelsim

[Frank van Eijkelenburg]

Hi,

is it possible to compile only the files that needs to be compiled. I have a
script which compiles a set of vhdl files, but if I do a change in the last
vhdl file in the list, only this file needs to be recompiled. Is there an
option for vcom that gives this desired behaviour?

TIA,
Frank

Emacs vhdl-mode commands vhdl-generate-make-file and vhdl-make
will do the job. Or the modelsim program vmake along with
the OS program make will do what you want.

Try Googling for "modelsim vmake". vmake is a Modelsim command that
generates a makefile. Haven't used it myself, but I know such feature
exists.

See for example http://www.tkt.cs.tut.fi/software/modeltech/tutorial/

That's true.

1) remove your old library

2) compile sources with your script (compile not simulate)

3) vmake > Makefile ( ===> create a Makefile from Library)

4) every new compilation can be started with "make" (only changed files
will be compiled)
