Hi,

I'm a novice to GHDL and I have a few questions.

My goal is to read a VHDL file and translate component declarations of a
certain type into plain assignments. I would also like to analyse the
connectivity of these components and perform operations on these components
depending on the connectivity between the components. I can achieve my goal
with an AST, which I assume is generated in GHDL. My first question is: can
GHDL help me achieve my goal? If so, can someone provide some references or
steps on how to achieve this? Or is there a better approach or tool that
can help me achieve my goal?

I downloaded the source from the svn repository, and I was unable to
compile the tool. I found some instruction in the README file in the
translate folder, however I had no success. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64
bit with an Intel ISA (i5). I have gcc 4.6.3 installed. Please let me know
how to compile the tool. Also, an explanation on the directory hierarchy
would be great. I assume the translate folder is where the majority of the
code resides, since the other folders contain ads and adb that seem to be
vhdl libraries. Nonetheless, your help would be appreciated to clarify the
structure.

Also, just a note that this work is for academic research.

Thank you in advance,
