[savant-users] question about savant version

[Doug Hickey]

Chark, 

Your system setup appears fine.  The error you receive regarding
_savant_entity_elab.hh not being found is because it is contained within
the tyvis directory.  This error is fixed by changing line 3 of the
generated main.cc to:  #include "tyvis/_savant_entity_elab.hh".  The
code generator was fixed to account for this difference after the
version you have.

Unfortunately, after making this change to main.cc it appears publishing
std_logic_arith is not well supported in that version of savant.  I have
made steady progress on ieee1164 support in the current version of
savant, but it is very much a work in progress.  

Are you only interested in working with std_logic_arith?  Both versions
of the software provide reasonable support for the LRM standard but,
from a quick runthrough, neither currently generate working code for
std_logic_arith.  You might have some luck with the 1.0 release:
http://www.cliftonlabs.com/savant/download/uc-mirror/ but I cannot
provide support for working with that version.  

Good luck,

Doug
