Hi,
If you allow, i would like to rant a little bit.
I just build ghdl following the instructions on [1].
Eventhough this works, it is very cumbersome and tedious.
I am not sure whether many people would use this process to
build ghdl more than once in a while. If i had some problems
with ghdl and would like to fix it, i would probably think twice
before looking at the code, because building would require me
to go trough these steps each time i need to change something.
Yes, it works, but do you really like those steps? I cannot
imagine that you, the developers, use these steps often. You have
most likely automated the process somehow.
Would it be possible to enhance the compilation guide such, that
building ghdl is just calling one or two commands? Best would
be to have just a ./configure && make && install (yes, not exactly
possible with gcc), a build_ghdl.sh would be a close second.
Thanks for listening to my rant

I must not become metastable.
Metastability is the mind-killer.
Metastability is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my metastability.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the metastability has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
