Compiling with the graphic interface

You can use a project or the Compile HDL Source Files dialog box to compile VHDL or Verilog designs. For information on compiling in a project, see "Getting started with projects" . To open the Compile HDL Source Files dialog, select the Compile button (Main window) or Design > Compile.

The Compile HDL Source Files dialog box opens as shown below.

From the Compile HDL Source Files dialog box you can:

• select source files to compile in any language combination
• specify the target library for the compiled design units
• select among the compiler options for either VHDL or Verilog

Select the Default Options button to change the compiler options, see "Setting default compile options" for details. The same Compiler Options dialog box can also be accessed by selecting Options > Compile (Main window) or by selecting Compile Properties from the context menu in Project tab.

Select the Edit Source button to view or edit a source file via the Compile dialog box. See "Source window" for additional source file editing information.
