VHDL Mode Installation Guide


  1) a) Local installation:
        Put `vhdl-mode.el' and `vhdl-mode.elc' in an arbitrary directory
        and add the following line to your Emacs startup file (`.emacs').

(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "<directory-name>") load-path))

     b) Global installation:
        Put `vhdl-mode.el' and `vhdl-mode.elc' in the `site-lisp' directory
        of your Emacs installation.

  2) a) Local installation:
        Add the following lines to your Emacs startup file (`.emacs').

;;;
;;; VHDL mode
;;;

(autoload 'vhdl-mode "vhdl-mode" "VHDL Editing Mode" t)

(setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("\\.vhdl?$" . vhdl-mode)) auto-mode-alist))

     b) Global installation:
        Put `site-start.el' in the `site-lisp' directory of your Emacs
        installation (or add its contents to an already existing
        `site-start.el' file).

  3) Global installation only:
     Adapt the site-wide customizations for VHDL Mode to your needs in the
     `site-start.el' file (i.e. change the variable settings in the function
     `custom-set-variables'). Unchanged variable settings can be deleted.
