Issues with GHDL when compiling OSVVM packages

[Christon Fredrick]

I first compiled the required dependencies and GHDL compiled them well. but when I compiled the AlertLogPkg.vhd, it didn’t and showed error like, ^
osvvm/AlertLogPkg.vhd:5356:43:error: no overloaded function found matching “to_string”
“= Expected : ” & to_string(Expected),
I have the same errors for many things. I couldn’t get past this. Please help me with this. Thanks.

Are you running a current version of GHDL? Our github actions run with GHDL every day. See: https://github.com/OSVVM/OsvvmLibraries/actions

Did you use the directions in OsvvmLibraries/Documentation/Scripts_user_guide.pdf?

Here they are:
GHDL in Windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Initialize the OSVVM Script environment by doing:

   winpty tclsh
   source <path-to-OsvvmLibraries>/OsvvmLibraries/Scripts/StartUp.tcl

To simplify this, put source /OsvvmLibraries/Scripts/StartUp.tcl
in the .tclshrc file and add a windows short cut that does
C:\tools\msys64\mingw64.exe winpty tclsh.

GHDL in Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Initialize the OSVVM Script environment by doing:

   rlwrap tclsh
   source <path-to-OsvvmLibraries>/OsvvmLibraries/Scripts/StartUp.tcl

To simplify this, put source /OsvvmLibraries/Scripts/StartUp.tcl
in the .tclshrc file and in bash add alias gsim=’rlwrap tclsh’ to your .bashrc.

Once you have done these, you build OsvvmLibraries by doing:

build $OsvvmLibraries/OsvvmLibraries.pro

Compiling the whole OsvvmLibraries in GHDL takes less than 60 seconds.

Can you please provide the output of

ghdl --version
