vmkr segmentation fault

[alb]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use vmkr to generate Makefiles to handle dependencies.
I downloaded version 2.8 from here:

http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/vhdl/index.php?content=07-tools

built it with gcc (instead of cc), got a bunch of warnings like these:

warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen'

but managed to compile.
At the moment of execution I run the program as suggested in the user
manual (vmkr.doc.ps):

vmkr -ts *.vhd > Makefile

and got this as the output:

vmkr -ts *.vhd > Makefile
BNR vmkr version 2.8 (Nov 08/93 11:10)

The possible top level architectures are :

The possible top level configurations are :
Segmentation fault

As if it was not even capable to find the top level architecture. By the
way, I have one unit only per file so there shouldn't be a problem on
that end.

Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks a lot,

Al

p.s.: it seems like this software dates back in the 1993, which may
explain the list of warnings. If anyone knows a more recent one that
could be helpful.

I would suggest using vmk: http://vmk.sourceforge.net/
I have been using it for years.
